Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my notebook shut down when the battery has a charge?

Micon: Technical Support
Most notebooks have power saving features designed to conserve battery charge. Some of these features include screen, memory, and hard drive suspend modes. Depending on the power savings features of your notebook, the computer will power down to conserve power. When the battery charge drops to a certain level, the system will force one of these suspend modes. Check your hardware and software documentation for specific details on the power savings features of your computer.

How does the shut-down controller work?

OPUS SOLUTIONS - INDUSTRY LEADER IN AUTOMOTIVE COMPUTING - C...
The shut-down controller is controlled by monitoring the switched 12V line. When power is cut from the switched line (turning off your ignition) the shutdown controller sends an ATX pulse to the operating system to initiate your chosen shutdown mode(shutdown, hibernate, standby).[ Back to Top ]

How does the Property Guard work?

Temperature Guard Frequently Asked Questions
There are three items that need to be programmed for each sensor before monitoring can begin. The items are: Sensor 1 is installed in a freezer. The max limit is 5°F and the min limit is -10°F and the defrost time delay is 45 minutes. The temperature at the sensor raises to 6°F. After 45 minutes the Property Guard will turn on the alarm relay and buzzer and begin to make emergency phone calls.

Do I need a voltage converter to use my battery charger in other countries?

EVOLT E-510 > Frequently Asked Questions
The BCM-1 Battery Charger (Item #260206) for the EVOLT E-510 is rated at 100-240 V AC and automatically adjusts itself for the local electrical current. However, you may have to get a set of plug adapters for the different wall outlets used in foreign countries. Plug adapter kits are available at electronics and luggage stores. The EVOLT E-510 accepts CompactFlash cards up to 8 GB capacity and supports Write Acceleration CompactFlash cards.

What voltage should I see at the battery?

KLR650 FAQ
The no-load voltage is around 12.9 V, so anything less than that while the engine is running means that the battery is discharging.

Does my Converter/Charger completely shut-off when the battery reaches full charge?

FAQ's about power converters
When the battery reaches full charge, the charging current of the converter drops down to between 20 and 25 milliamps. Batteries will self-discharge themselves at this low rate even when no other 12-volt current loads are present. The converter senses this current loss and automatically replaces this lost current to maintain full battery charge.

I often see stations with "Battery Voltage" readings. What does this refer to?

California Data Exchange Center
The battery voltage sensor is used to monitor the health of the battery that is powering the station. If you are looking at the data on one of the web display pages, it's in local Pacific time. (PST during the winter, PDT during the summer). On the text download pages such as queryCSV or querySHEF, it's in PST only. Also, please be aware that due to architectural issues, the data during the change from PST to PDT and from PDT to PST may not be correct.

Q4.11: Where does the Battery Voltage reading in the M.O.L.E. Status Window come from?

FAQ for SuperM.O.L.E. -- ECD
For Gold M.O.L.E., this reading is taken at the time of down load when the GM.O.L.E. is turned on by the PC software just prior to getting the data. This can be seen by using a terminal program (see communication section for details) and entering "*Z" to invoke the M.O.L.E. to down load the M.O.L.E. status values. The last value in the response will be something like "B04958" which means 4.958VDC. Different M.O.L.E.s and batteries will give different readings.

How does the Model 9600 compare to battery or low voltage motors?

SM Automatic - Motorization for Interior Window Treatments
The Model 9600 is infinitely more sophisticated and heavier duty than a battery or low voltage system. With a battery or low voltage motor, there are significant restrictions in available shade sizes, while the Model 9600 can handle shades deemed both too small and too large by the others. Further, because of the heavy duty nature of the Model 9600 motor, you can expect a much longer service life than for the alternatives.

If my UPS (battery back-up) beeps, does that mean that I have a voltage condition?

Residential | FPL | Frequently Asked Questions
Not necessarily. The voltage that flows through electrical lines will fluctuate slightly on a normal basis. The state of Florida requires that utilities operate within a range of +/- 8 volts (112 - 128) from standard voltage (120), but FPL prefers to keep this range within +/-6 volts (114 - 126). Unfortunately, some UPS products have a threshold of 5 volts - meaning if the voltage fluctuation reaches 6 volts, the UPS will go into battery mode.

Why is voltage low on a new battery?

Icelltech Hearing Aid Batteries - Australian Distributor
Accordingly, voltage measured right after removal of the tab is normally lower than specified voltage of 1.4Volt. This has nothing to do with battery capacity and you do not have to worry at all. It will be fully activated as you use the battery. We would like to suggest that you insert the battery into your hearing aid at least 1 minute after removal of the tab to allow for proper activation time.

What receiver battery voltage can I use?

Spektrum DSM Digital Spectrum Modulation for RC cars. Provid...
Will the spectrum work with an older Futaba Tx, namely the Field Force 3 (3UCP)? I note that the module for the 3PK is of the same size, but not sure if the internals are different.

How does the Refrigerator/Freezer Guard work?

Temperature Guard Frequently Asked Questions
There are three items that need to be programmed for each sensor before monitoring can begin. The items are: Sensor 1 is installed in a freezer. The max limit is 5°F and the min limit is -10°F and the defrost time delay is 45 minutes. The temperature at the sensor raises to 6°F. After 45 minutes the Refrigerator/Freezer Guard will turn on the alarm relay and buzzer and begin to make emergency phone calls.

How does the Home Guard work?

Frequently Asked Questions
Follow the spoken instructions and the manual to program the phone number (s) where you want the HG to call you in case of emergencies.

How does a battery work?

automotive parts malaysia car battery faq on car models make...
A battery stores energy in chemicals form that can be released on demand as electricity. This electrical power is used by the cars ignition systems for cranking the engine. The car's battery also may power the lights and other accessories. Should the alternator belt fail, the battery might also need to power the vehicle's entire electrical system for a short period of time.

How does Battery Brain work?

Battery Brain + FAQ's
The Battery Brain that is attached to the vehicles battery will disconnect the load from the battery when it detects a drain beneath a certain level, saving energy to restart the vehicle when needed. This means that if you mistakenly leave the lights or radio on, or there is an unknown short in the system, Battery Brain makes sure that your car will start.

How does the vehicle battery system work?

Byron Bay Campers - Campervan Rentals
Byron Bay Campers vehicles are equipped with a dual battery system. This means that the battery used to start the vehicle is different from the (appliance) battery that powers the fridge and interior lights. The appliance battery system will last approximately 12 hours when fully charged. The batteries only recharge when you drive the vehicle. Since the engine battery is separate, if you flatten the appliance battery, you will still be able to start the engine and drive.
