Manually Terminating the Calibration Process
At any time during the calibration process of a Motorola Solutions
IMPRES battery (Steady Amber indication), calibration may be
terminated by removing and reinserting the battery back into the
charger within 5 seconds. This causes the charger to terminate the
calibration process and begin the charging process. The charger
indicator changes to a Steady Red. The charger attempts to calibrate
the battery at the next battery insertion.
Manually Initiating the Calibration Process
Within 2-1/2 minutes of the initial insertion of an IMPRES battery
(Steady Red indication), remove and reinsert the battery within
5 seconds to manually force calibration to occur. The charger indicator
changes from a Steady Red to a Steady Amber. This forces the
charger to calibrate and automatically recharge the battery. Two or three
manual calibration cycles may be required to rejuvenate the batteries,
due to long term storage conditions.
End-of-Service-Life Indication
As batteries are used, normal wear reduces available capacity. At the
successful completion of calibration, IMPRES chargers compare
IMPRES battery capacity to the battery Rated Capacity. When the
capacity is at a very low value, the IMPRES battery may be nearing its
End of Service. The IMPRES battery remains usable. In some
scenarios, it may be desirable to deploy the battery to someone who
does not require large battery capacity to complete a work shift.
Troubleshooting
The IMPRES Adaptive Charger incorporates the features of:
• A universal input power supply
• A constant current rapid charger
• A negative pulse conditioning charger
• A calibration unit
• A USB Type A Power Output
• A user selectable on/off switch for turning ON/OFF calibration.
