Battery Notes
Each battery works with a controller. If the battery is present in the subsystem but the corresponding controller is not present, the battery will not appear in the interface.
If a battery does not reflect normal conditions and it is not currently under reconditioning, run the Recondition function before you replace the battery.
During reconditioning, the battery is fully discharged then fully recharged. During that time, the controller cache is reset to Write Thru, unless the Adaptive Writeback Cache function is enabled.
If a battery reaches the threshold temperature while charging or discharging, the charge or discharge pauses and the blower runs at high speed until the battery temperature falls below the threshold.
If the battery does not maintain normal values after a Recondition, replace the battery.
Astra ES automatically reconditions the battery every two months by default using a scheduled event.
When you install a new battery, the cycle count shows 0. Astra ES automatically runs a recondition on the battery to verify it. If you restart the subsystem or controller before reconditioning is finished, the battery is charged to 100%, then reconditioning starts again.
