Saludos mi gente, un pana me acaba de enviar esta info que la encontro en un forum no se donde y de verdad que brega. Mi accu ya estaba de safacon y esta ahora mejor que como el primer dia que lo compre.. Espero les sirva..
How To Calibrate you Accu-Cycle
1) Get a multi-meter and set it to measure DC current. I borrowed this Fluke multi-meter from work. I have to set the dial to measure DC current and I have to attach the red probe to the port that measures current. (Picture #1)
2) Start with a fully charged battery hooked up the Accu-Cycle. My Tx battery is connected here. Red lead to the red port. Black lead to the black port. (Picture #1)
3) Now connect the multi-meter in series. Do do this, disconnect the black lead and put the red probe into the black port instead. Now connect the black lead to the black probe. I just held them together. The multi-meter is now connected in series. Remember these connections, you are going to have to hold it like this when the Accu-Cycle is open and the ports are up-side-down and facing away from you. (Picture #2)
4) Set the discharge rate to 250 mA and start discharging the battery. The actual discharge rate will show up on the multi-meter. I was reading 257.2 mA. (Picture #2)
5) Open up the Accu-Cycle. The picture shows where the Tx and Rx potentiometers are. (Picture #3)
6) Adjust the Tx pot so that you bring the current back down to 250 mA. You are going to have to hold the multi-meter in series and start the discharge cycle before you do this. (Picture #4)
7) Do exactly the same thing to calibrate the Rx discharge rate. I'm too lazy to take the battery out of the fuse, so I brought the whole fuse over. Remove the switch and connect the battery directly to the charger. Change the "RX CELL SELECTOR" to 1 cell (don't know why), hold the multi-meter in series again, then start discharging. (Picture #5)
8) Adjust the Rx pot until you get 250 mA. (Picture #6)
9) That's it! Screw the top back on. Notice I used 18 mAh and 20 mAh to adjust the Rx and Tx discharge rates, respectively. Top off your batteries before you start cycling again. This time you'll be more confident about the mAh readings at the end of the discharge. (Picture #7)
I hope this helps...
