Keeping diad from dying?

[upschuck]

I have noticed that diad v batteries respond well to being treated properly. If you want your diad battery capacity to last longer than a year, and it's charge to last a full day, make sure that it receives a full charge cycle. That is, from <10% to >90%. Little top-up charges here and there will degrade a high capacity battery.

For optimum life, charge it someplace similar in temperature to where it will be used. Significant differences in charge/discharge temperatures will affect performance noticeably.

Finally, check the serial number of your battery. The first two numbers correspond the year of manufacture. If you're using a 2011 or 2012 battery it will have likely diminished. But beware! Open the battery door and it's logged, remove the battery and it's logged, replace the battery and it's logged. Good news though, this information is sent away and dying batteries can be identified remotely out in the field and pegged for replacement.

You SHOULD get at least 500 full cycles before your battery reaches 80% original full capacity. In reality, it is closer to 350. Treat it well and you can go into the 700's.

The conditions that diads are used, run the gamut of temps, and where they are charged, is temp controlled.

Thanks for the info, though.

Just swap batteries with the newbie's diad. Problem solved.

He never leaves his temp controlled environment so how would he know that?

I was wondering that also

Was wondering if he even worked at ups, with that lack of knowledge with the operation.

Extreme humidity ...cause them 2 fail

So do sub zero temperatures.

Obviously the solution is to freeze the charging stations overnight.

Don't you have air conditioning?

Don't you have air conditioning?

2-60 a/c

Don't need it, unlike wimps in other outfits...

I have people come up to me all the time ,saying I didn't know you had doors on the truck.

So let us clarify this. If one were to use the search function, they would find no mention of you taking off or being off?

What year ? On that note ... what decade ?
