chip in the battery stores all usage information, which is accessed
and evaluated by any IMPRES charger. This information enables
automated battery Reconditioning/Calibration and enables display
of critical charging information. Critical charging information
includes:
• Battery capacity (in mAh and percent of Rated Capacity)
• Voltage while charging and at completion of charge
• Time remaining to complete rapid charging (NiCd
and NiMH only)
• Current battery charge status
• The battery's unique serial number, part number and
chemistry
2. Maximize battery life by significantly reducing heat during the trickle
and post-charge cycles, while maintaining maximum charge, for
Nickel batteries. Overheating during long-term charging can
damage a battery and result in lost capacity. Most conventional
chargers have a maintenance charge mode at the completion of a
charge cycle that applies constant power to a battery in an effort to
keep it charged over time. This maintenance charge can cause
batteries to overheat.
IMPRES chargers automatically turn off at the end of a charge
cycle, yet continue to electronically monitor IMPRES batteries
every five minutes to determine when more energy should be
applied. This ensures the battery has a high state of charge without
sustaining any heat damage.
IMPRES batteries can be left in IMPRES chargers for extended
periods without heat damage. The charger monitors the batteries
so that they're charged and ready to go whenever you need them.
3. Eliminate the need to purchase reconditioning equipment and train
personnel to "manage battery maintenance tasks."
With IMPRES adaptive reconditioning, Motorola has made it easy
and automatic for you to maintain your battery inventory.
