A learning cycle is a battery calibration operation that the controller performs periodically
to determine the condition of the battery.
Perform the following steps to view and change the battery settings:
1. Navigate to the second Contr
oller Settings screen and select Manage Battery.
The Batte
ry Properties dialog appears. Most of the battery properties are read
only.
Figure 50. Battery Properties
If the Battery S
tate field has a value other than Optimal, the Non-Optimal
Reason field appears at the bottom of the Battery Properties dialog. The Non-
Optimal Reason field is a read-only field and states a reason for the non optimal
state of the battery.
2. Select a battery learn mode from the Learn M
ode drop-down list.
The values in the drop-down list differ based on whether the battery supports
transparent le
arn cycles.
— If the battery supports transparent learn, the following values appear in the
Le
arn Mode drop-down list:
G Tr
ansparent – The firmware tracks the time since the last learning cycle and
performs a learn cycle when it is due.
G Dis
abled – The firmware does not monitor or initiate a learning cycle. You
can schedule learning cycles manually.
G Unknown – The firmw
are warns about a pending learning cycle. You can
start a learning cycle manually. After the learning cycle completes, the
firmware resets the counter and warns you when the next learning cycle time
is reached.
