When the RBC is replaced the following action items need to be completed in order:
Date: The battery installation date must be entered. Doing so resets internal counters and adjusts charging tables if applicable.
Self Test: Manually initiate a self test and let pass and recover to 100% SOC.
Calibration: Manually initiate a battery calibration with a minimum of 30% attached load or higher. This procedure will help the system learn the current battery health and better reflect the operational runtime via LED, LCD, NMC, SNMP, Power Chute.
