Priority Battery Function

A unique operating feature of all PowerChargers allows the operator to select any battery on any charge position as a PRIORITY BATTERY. While connecting a battery to any charge position, hold the DISPLAY button until an audible indication sounds and the LCD indicates:

PRIORITY BATTERY

The PowerCharger will interrupt the charging of any other battery and address the Priority Battery immediately (assuming it is within a safe charging parameters). When priority charging is complete, the charger will return to addressing the other batteries on the charger.

NOTE: This function is unavailable if the AUTOCAL mode has been requested by the charger.

DDM (DIAGNOSTIC/DISCHARGE MODULE)

(standard on Model DUAL 2702 and QUAD 2702)

The DDM is a modular addition which will upgrade any InterActive 2000 PowerCharger to a complete battery management system. A standard feature with the DUAL 2702 and QUAD 2702, the DDM can be easily added to any model PowerCharger, at any time. With this module installed, the PowerCharger becomes a complete battery management system, capable of testing battery capacity and identifying battery anomalies before they appear in the field.

The DDM will perform a standard or a 24 hour test. The standard test is a full charge-discharge-full charge routine, which will identify the capacity of the battery and indicate any performance issues, such as low battery voltage indicating a shorted cell. The 24 hour test is a full charge-wait 24 hours-discharge-full charge routine which will identify any excessive self-discharge or serious cell imbalance condition.

Test time will vary with battery condition. The standard test will require a minimum of 6 hours to a maximum of about 12 hours. The 24 hour test will require an additional 24 hours as the battery undergoes a 24 hour rest time to identify self-discharge anomalies. It is recommended that the 24 hour test be performed only on weekends or when the battery is not scheduled to be used for 2-3 days.
