1. Initial Charge/Charge Start: after start-up the system is in initial charge state. This
state guarantees fully charged batteries before changing to the default operational
state. During this time it is not possible to start a battery test. The duration for the
initial charge time is user settable and can be changed under System Related
Settings Start Charge Time. It is not possible to stop the initial charge cycle in
order to start a battery test, but it is possible to schedule a battery test, which starts
directly after the initial charge.
2. Charge Off State/Idle State: this is the default operational state. This is the only
state, which allows starting a battery test.
3. Battery Test: battery test is a simulated AC-Fail/Discharge State. After a battery test
the system will change to discharge state in order to recharge the batteries.
4. Discharge State: Discharging more than 1% and less than 10% of total battery
capacity will result in the Discharge State. If AC is back before discharging more than
10% of total capacity the batteries will be recharged without boost voltage. The
duration for the recharge is user settable and can be changed under System Related
Settings Charge Time.
5. Boost Discharge State: Discharging more than 10% of total battery capacity will
result in the Boost Discharge State. After AC is back the batteries will be recharged
with boost voltage. The duration for the boost recharge is user settable and can be
changed under System Related Settings Boost Charge Time Manual Boost
Charge State: A manual started Boost Charge can be performed during a normal
charge or during Charge Off State.
State changes from Charging States or Charge Off State requires a discharge of
more than 1% of overall battery capacity. Depending on the overall battery capacity
this may take several minutes.

3.1 Start-up
During start-up the System operates in the initial charge (also called start charge) cycle:
The initial charge guarantees fully charged batteries before switching to the normal operation
state. This allows a much more accurate handling of batteries during the normal system
operation. During start up/initial charge it is not possible to start a battery test. It is also not
possible to cancel or stop the initial charge.
The normal operation state is called Idle or Charge Off State. This is the only state, which
allows battery tests.

1. AC-Fail
2. Discharge Batteries for more than 1% of their capacity
3. Switch to Discharge State
4. 30min discharge (5Ah discharge) 4. 3hours discharge (60Ah discharge)
system Voltage follows the battery Voltage system Voltage follows the battery Voltage
5. Stay in discharge state 5. Switch to boost discharge state
If the discharge is greater than 10% of the overall capacity of the batteries the system will
switch to boost discharge state.
If not required, the complete boost discharge and charge handling can be disabled. If
disabled, only the normal discharge and charge handling is used.

Battery Management Manual Revision D01
With the measured data and the user provided test thresholds (Duration, Ah to discharge, Fail
Voltage, Warning Voltage) a result is calculated.
Since there is no difference in battery handling between a Battery Test and a real AC fail,
each AC fail triggers a Battery Test, a so-called AC-Fail Test. There is only one difference
between a real Battery Test and an AC-Fail Test: if the AC supply is back during an AC-Fail
Test, the test is countered as stopped with no valid result.
