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:
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.
