5 — PROGRAMMABLE PARAMETERS: Battery Parameters
The Battery menu allows any lead acid battery to be installed and the BDI
algorithm tailored to match it. Actual usage duty cycle greatly affects the settings
and the overall accuracy of the BDI algorithm. The power level and type of
battery charger used also affect the BDI algorithm, and therefore testing must
be done to match the charger as well.
See Appendix A for guidelines on setting up these BDI parameters.
BATTERY MENU
PARAMETER RANGE DESCRIPTION
Partial Charge Min 10–100 % The amount of BDI change that is required to reset the BDI to a
higher charged value. Reset Voltage will override this parameter.
Full Voltage
0–36.0 V Voltage at or above which 100% BDI is displayed.
Empty Voltage 0–36.0 V Voltage at or below which 0% BDI is displayed.
Reset Voltage 0–36.0 V Voltage at which the BDI calculator will be reset to 100%.
Start Charge Voltage 0–36.0 V Voltage above which the battery is considered charging.
Discharge Factor 1–100 Discharge rate of the battery. Larger values are for larger batteries,
which discharge more slowly.
Charge Factor 1–100 Charge rate of the battery. Larger values are for larger batteries,
which charge more slowly.

PARAMETER RANGE DESCRIPTION
Motor Swap 0–7 Inverts and/or swaps the left and right motor characteristics.
Motor Test Mode On/Off Puts the system into a reduced current test mode to allow the motor
to be stalled and the motor/system resistance to be accurately
measured and displayed in the 1311’s Monitor screen. The resultant
value must be used for the System Resistance parameter above.
After getting the measurement, be sure to set the Motor Test
Mode parameter back to Off.
