Priority Battery Function 
A unique operating feature of all PowerChargers allows the operator to select any 
battery on any charge position as a PRIORITY BATTERY.  While connecting a battery 
to any charge position, hold the DISPLAY button until an audible indication sounds and 
the LCD indicates: 
 
The PowerCharger will interrupt the charging of any other battery and address the 
Priority Battery immediately (assuming it is within a safe charging parameters).  When 
priority charging is complete, the charger will return to addressing the other batteries on 
the charger. 
 
NOTE: This function is unavailable if the AUTOCAL mode has been requested 
by the charger. 
DDM (DIAGNOSTIC/DISCHARGE MODULE) 
(standard on Model DUAL 2702 and QUAD 2702) 
The DDM is a modular addition which will upgrade any InterActive 2000 
PowerCharger to a complete battery management system.  A standard feature with the 
DUAL 2702 and QUAD 2702, the DDM can be easily added to any model 
PowerCharger, at any time.  With this module installed, the PowerCharger becomes a 
complete battery management system, capable of testing battery capacity and 
identifying battery anomalies before they appear in the field. 
The DDM will perform a standard or a 24 hour test.  The standard test is a full 
charge-discharge-full charge routine
, which will identify the capacity of the battery 
and indicate any performance issues, such as low battery voltage indicating a shorted 
cell.  The 24 hour test is a full charge-wait 24 hours-discharge-full charge routine 
which will identify any excessive self-discharge or serious cell imbalance condition. 
Test time will vary with battery condition.  The standard test will require a minimum of 
6 hours to a maximum of about 12 hours.  The 24 hour test will require an additional 24 
hours as the battery undergoes a 24 hour rest time to identify self-discharge anomalies.  
It is recommended that the 24 hour test be performed only on weekends or when the 
battery is not scheduled to be used for 2-3 days.
