Once the
button is pressed, the following parameters are cyclically read from the battery.
Not all parameters are read continuously, but only those subject to change with higher frequency are kept fresh.
Battery ID:
shows the serial number of the pack. This number is written in the pack at production time and identifies a unique
pack in that productive year. A reference to this number can be found in the sticker on the bottom of the pack.
the device name is the nickname of each model, followed by the firmware revision number. This information, though
apparently useless to the user may be significantly important to the Blueshape® support team.
the cycle counter reads how many times, a certain amount of capacity has been removed from the battery. This
counter is incremented every time the 80% of pack nominal capacity is removed from the battery, even if a charge
cycle occurs in between two different discharge cycles. This information can be useful in determining the age of the
battery pack.
Live Data:
displays the total voltage of the internal stack of batteries (4 batteries connected in series); this value is calibrated and
has a precision of
±
1mV.
The pack voltage is also shown: this value is not calibrated (has an error of
±
6% and can fluctuate) and represents the
voltage read at the pack terminals. In some particular cases, this value can be very low, in the order of few millivolts.
In these cases the battery's discharge protection has been activated and this disables the reading of pack voltage at
the terminals.
displays the single cell voltage of each of the 4 cells that make the battery's internal stack; this value is calibrated and
has a precision of
±
1mV.
The voltage of each cell normally ranges from a maximum of 4250mV to a minimum of 2700mV.
Other values, lower than this range are possible in cases of deeply discharged batteries. However, higher values are
not possible since safety protections prevent the single cell voltage from rising beyond this level.
shows the actual charging or discharging current flowing in (positive) or out (negative) from the battery. This value is
