Charger
Слайд 23Cold charging
Li-ion batteries can only be charged above freezing temperatures;
nickel-based batteries should be trickle charged if below 5°C (41°F).
The UCC provides the right charge.
Hot charging
The UCC halts charge if Li-ion reaches 50°C (123°F). Nickel-based batteries resume charge after cool down and trickle charge when full.
Safety and redundancy
Advanced algorithms terminate the charge on incorrect voltages, mismatched cells and temperature extremes.
Слайд 24Inactive batteries
Over-discharge often render Li-ion batteries unserviceable. Boost enables a
re-charge
Calibration Discharge
Maintains fuel gauge accuracy, prolongs nickel-based batteries

US patent 6,778,913
Слайд 32Capacity and CCA of aging starter batteries
CCA stays high
to the end; engine cranks well
Capacity below 40% is
considered end-of-life
Capacity is the leading health indicator
Слайд 33Test conditions
Battery must be 60% charged.
“Charge and
Retest” if below 60%
