If the battery heats up on charge to 45°C (113°F) the charge will cut off and the
OVERTEMP/FAULT LED will illuminate. When the battery cools down to
approximately 90°F, the charge restores.
4.2 FAULT INIDICATION AND CUTOUT
While charging with the Activator 282, a 24 Volt battery voltage will continuously
rise to over 28 Volts. However, if a battery will not accept charge due to
corroded terminals or deficiencies such as a shorted cell, or has been cycled or
is aged or defective to an extent of not being able to attain 28 Volts, the Activator
282 will detect this condition. If the battery is less than 28 Volts and remains at a
fixed voltage for 4 consecutive hours or drops in voltage instead of increasing,
the charge will cut off and the OVERTEMP/FAULT lamp will illuminate.
5.0 NICKEL CADMIUM TOPPING
5.1 General: Refer to the NAVAIR BAD-1 Manual and/or battery manufacturer’s
manual for servicing of Nickel Cadmium batteries. This is a process requiring
