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, incl uding 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.
