Battery Display - Anton/Bauer Logic series Owner's Manual

BATTERY DISPLAY

Anton/Bauer Logic Series® batteries feature the RealTime® LCD providing on-the-fly remaining run-time estimates in 15 minute increments
as well as simultaneously providing remaining capacity information using the analog "Fuel Gauge" approach. RealTime® automatically
calculates the load and displays capacity information and battery status at all times.
Additional electronic circuits protect the battery cells from damage and help ensure safe operation. These electronics work in conjunction
with the digital battery electronics and will give the operator additional indications in the RealTime® display of the battery's status as outlined
below.
The following is a description of the features of the remaining
run-time LCD:
1. The remaining run-time is calculated using the present
available capacity and a measure of the present power load.
2. If no load has been detected, or if the battery is coming off a
charger, the default assumed power for remaining run-time
calculations is 20 watts.
3. When the battery determines that a load is attached, the
default 20 watt load will be abandoned and a new remaining
run-time will be calculated based on the new load presented
to the battery.
4. The battery will "learn" this new load and retain that load
information in non-volatile memory.
5. If the battery is removed from a load and placed on a shelf
for extended periods, the remaining run-time calculation will
continue to use the learned load value for up to 30 minutes.
6. After 30 minutes, the remaining run-time calculation will
again use the default 20 watt load as criteria.
7. When the battery approaches EOD (end of discharge), the
LCD will begin flashing the 15 minute icon until the battery is
returned to a charger.
8. When the battery has reached EOD (12.0 VDC) the 15 minute
icon will disappear and 5
flash until the battery is returned to a charger.
9. If the battery voltage drops below the Fuel Gauge cut
out circuit voltage (10.0 to 10.8 VDC) the Fuel Gauge will
be disabled and the LCD will go blank until the battery is
returned to a charger.
