Condition Mode
The CONDITION CYCLE serves basically two needs of Nickel based batteries, one is to reform the Cells of a battery that hasn’t been used for an extended period of time, say for 3 or more Months. Secondly this mode will eliminate MEMORY EFFECT better known as VOLTAGE DEPRESSION.
Usually deep discharging the battery will restore the battery back to normal capacity such as the discharging and charging cycle used in the Analyzer X3 and X6.
Lithium Ion batteries do not suffer from voltage depression, but they will not be harmed if the Conditioning cycle is applied to them. To select the condition cycle follow the instructions below.
With the X3 and X6, the percentage of the rated capacity of the battery being CONDITIONED is set at 80%, the 80% is set at the factory and can be modified with the use of optional software.

QUICK TEST ANALYSIS
This is an advanced proprietary algorithm capable of determining the health of a battery. Specially stored parameters allowing the Analyzer X3 or X6 to identify a battery’s range of capacity and display: Batt>60% or Batt<60%of rated capacity . Batteries that have a low state of charge when placed in the X3 for the QT May require a charge of up to 10 minutes before performing the QT. Up to 3 attempts to charge the battery will be tried before a message is displayed “Discard the Battery”.
Even batteries that do not have
A impedance test must be performed prior to the “Learn Mode”, and incorporated into the LEARN MODE.
