Very good charger and it has met our expectations. We are using it to train students on the process of charging ni-cad batteries. Thank you for the prompt service and will recommend you to future prospects.
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Question:
Is calibration included with a new RF80-M unit?
Answer:
Yes, every new RF80-M Battery Charger/Analyzer comes with a Certificate of Calibration that is valid for 12 months.
Asked August 2, 2023
Question:
Does the RF80-M come with a Certificate of Conformance (CofC) or an 8130-3 certificate?
Answer:
Each new RF80-M Battery Charger/Analyzer does come with a Certificate of Conformance (CofC). However, since this item is considered ground support equipment (GSE), an 8130-3 certificate is not included.
Asked August 2, 2023
Question:
How does the RF80-M differ from the RF80-K unit?
Answer:
The newer RF80-M Battery Charger/Analyzer is a direct replacement for the RF80-K model and has the same form, fit, and function as its predecessor. However, the RF80-M has been upgraded with a 7" touchscreen display, an advanced microcontroller, and expanded functionality.
Both the RF80-K and the RF80-M are current production units, and both units will be supported from a spares and logistics standpoint indefinitely.
Here are a few advantages to upgrading to the newer RF80-M model:
- The RF80-M's 7" touchscreen display is much more user-friendly than the analog knobs, switches, and dials on the RF80-K.
- The RF80-M uses an advanced microcontroller, whereas the RF80-K uses older technology components.
- The RF80-M has a programmable charger, versus the RF80-K, which is manually controlled.
- The RF80-M is upgradable to use with the latest ABMS-10X Battery Management System.
- RF80-M calibration verification can be accomplished easier and faster than the RF80-K calibration verification procedure.
- The RF80-M is a better charger if you have a mix of lead-acid and nickel-cadmium batteries.
- The RF80-M has a touchscreen-adjustable constant potential voltage, whereas the RF80-K's constant potential voltage set point can only be controlled via an internal potentiometer.
Asked August 2, 2023
Question:
What calibration standard is this unit set to?
Answer:
Each new RF80-M unit comes with a fresh IEC-rated calibration.
Asked August 10, 2023
Question:
Is this unit capable of deep-cycling a battery?
Answer:
Yes! The RF80-M's primary functions include charging, discharging (capacity test), and deep cycling (deep discharge).
Asked November 4, 2024
We are setting up an aircraft battery shop and this is an OEM recommended. The latest technology like the touch screen operation makes operating it very user friendly.
Make sure you download the operator manual and read it. Never switch it ON without a battery connected to its charging terminals.
