Preventative Maintenance

The DIGITAL battery incorporates unique battery management features. Together with Anton/Bauer diagnostic accessories, an effective preventative maintenance program can easily be created to optimize the return on battery investment and greatly simplify battery management operations.

The PowerCharger, coupled with a DDM (Diagnostic Discharge Module), will provide a complete battery management system. The PowerCharger will allow you to run diagnostic evaluations as well as “Calibrate” your battery with the new “AUTOCAL” feature. The “AUTOCAL” feature will automatically “Calibrate” your battery without any operator input. Please reference the PowerCharger Owner’s Manual for additional information.

The older style MP4-D, coupled with a DM-4, will allow you to run similar diagnostic programs as a PowerCharger.

It is strongly recommended that all users of the Logic Series DIGITAL Battery System have at least one PowerCharger complete with a DDM, or MP4-D/DM-4 combination. Such a combination can also interface via the RS-232 port provided to a printer producing hard copy battery reports automatically, including battery serial number, date of manufacture, number of charge/discharge cycles, calibrated capacity, and a complete voltage/time discharge graph.

Logic Series DIGITAL batteries and Chargers together form a battery management system that will maximize battery performance, eliminate battery problems in the field and reduce costs by prolonging battery life and precluding equipment down time.
