Analyzing a Battery

During the analyze cycle, the installed battery charges to 100%, then drains it to 0%, then charges it back up to 100%.

When the operating temperature of the battery is between 0°C and 50°C and there is a constant AC supply to the terminal and battery, tap Start > Power Tools > Battery Analyzer. The Battery Analyzer main window displays specific battery information for your review, including the operating temperature.

The status bar at the top of the window shows the progress of the analyze cycle.

The text box at the bottom of the window displays the details of the analyze cycle.

Note: The Charge Status field indicates if the installed battery is charging or fully charged.

The Estimated Time field displays the amount of time it will take to complete a full cycle.
