6 Learning Cycle and Golden Image

The learning cycle process is the initial optimization that Dynamic Z-Track™ gauges perform to support the accuracy of the gauge in reporting state of charge. The learning cycle allows the gauge to learn a specific battery's resistance and maximum chemical capacity, helping to maintain accuracy as the cell ages. Identifying and programming a correct ChemID, with less than 3% of error, into the gauge before attempting a learning cycle is necessary
