Note the final capacity and resistance reading in each case Take the battery with the highest capacity ensure that it is 100 or greater and the highest resistance and run this battery using Q Learn program After Q Learn has completed take the same battery and run it again in the same adapter using QuickTest The final SoH state of Health result should be 100 If it is less than 100 erase the battery matrix Delete matrix for the selected battery model and start over Once successful test the other batteries with the same capacity to ensure that the SoH readings are within an acceptable range Changing anything in the C Code apart from the target capacity and program will erase the matrix Note You must use a Cadex 7200 7400 7400ER battery analyzer with a 16kb battery adapter to be able to use the Q Learn program Q Learn assumes that the battery capacity is 100 or greater If a battery with less than 100 capacity is used with Q Learn it will give erroneous results Use Q Learn program to create a matrix when you have only one brand new battery 100 or better metered capacity primed within the last day Use Learn Program instead if you have several batteries of the same model each with capacity of 100 or greater to create a matrix Batteries with resistance above 800mOhm as measured by OhmTest should not be used with the Q Learn program It is a good idea to run OhmTest on any battery you plan to put through the Q Learn
