how do you know if cell is bad

On the Aqua Rite control panel, press diagnostic button 3 times. A new amp cell reads 5 +. My cell was down in the 0 to 1 range. The ppm salt was also falling.

I made assumption. I believe the cell was incompatible with with electronics. Rather than dump more money into purchasing a new system I converted back to using chlorine. I found that to be less expensive, you will be lucky to get seven years out of the salt system, then you will have to buy another with the cost of about $1000.

I kept adding salt to the pool and the PPM wasn't going up. It was staying around 1700 or so. I talked to my pool guy and he suggested I replace the cell. He said they generally only last about 5-6 years. I got 7. When I installed the new cell, my salt PPM was up around 6,000...not a happy level for the equipment.

You usually first can tell by noticing that chlorine levels are low when you test the water indicating the cell is not producing at a high level. The other visual test is the appearance of algae. Finally you look at the generator unit and run through the diagnostics, make a note of each number as you scroll through the screens, then look on line for what they should be for your particular unit. If it's not working anymore several of the numbers will be very low or way off what they should be. If that's the case it means the cell has run its course and a new one should be purchased. Easy to install a new one however. You usually first can tell by noticing that chlorine levels are low when you test the water indicating the cell is not producing at a high level.

I had the same problem. I took my phone and battery to Verizon whom tested it they told me the battery was no good. So I am sending mine back.

With a voltmeter or multimeter. There are also hobby parts that can be plugged into the balance port to sound an alarm when cell voltage gets too low, if you want to check it in the model.

I have detected any cell reaction(s). I believe if the EMFSensor picked up any signal in would display a rhythmic reading, i.e., like a ringer, etc. So my answer is NO.ProfBill

The cell phone has a warranty, but it not working fine, the cell was restarted at least once an hour.

after drying it out, press the battery test button. if you get at least one iight then its probably ok to use

Not sure. I would call verizon and ask because some of the cells cross over and some don't. This is not a smart phone.

Hi- If the base of the Accessory handset is getting electricity, and charging, a red light should go on showing that to be the case. If you're not seeing a red light, make sure the outlet you have the cord plugged into is a working outlet. Maybe move the handset to a different plug to see if this helps. If still no light, it's possible that either the charging cord is no good. OR- the battery inside the phone may have gone bad. If none of this helps, I would suggest you call Uniden directly for advice. But these are the things I could think of off the bat.... Hope this is helpful.....

No, it's not likely to tell you battery health. It's possible that by monitoring the charge amperage at different phases you could see one is problematic but that would not be conclusive. If you live withing range of an Apple store, simply make a Genius Bar appointment and ask them to diagnose your battery. They have an app that gives them access to your phone's diagnostics and will show them the battery health. They can tell you exactly how health the battery is and it's free.This will only tell you the rate at which your charger and cable is delivering power to the phone. Above 80% the phone reduces the charge rate but below 80% it should charge at a full 1Amp (5 watts.) No, it's not likely to tell you battery health.

If battery is bad it would show the charging light. Try unplugging the battery from the phone, wait a few minutes then plug it back in. Try again, if it is going bad it will stop holding a charge.

Mine is reddish pink at plug in, you can see the blue, top edge of the light. It turns blue after charging. It takes several hours. The unit is chip made, but works. That's why cost so little. Yours may have defective light, and you possibly only see one color. Put the battery in the phone, and see the charge level before and after charging it. At least you know if it works.

If your salt cell is 8 years old, I'd recommend having it checked at local pool store. The big box pool stores that sell salt systems can do a diagnostic on the cell. Ours does it free since it takes about 2 minutes for them to check. Our pool guy told us that salt cells generally last 3 to 4 years. Our pool is almost 9 years old and we are on our third one. Also about to be on our third control board, as our salt system isn't generating and the cell checked out as good.

I suspect it will be bad news. I would test it for at least a month. (It is pretty slow acting.)

I had issues with that. And the battery. Bad cell. Return was quick and painless tho. Amazon got me a new battery in 2 days. The charger I would recommend only using one that specifies lithium. Battery tender was out of stock so I got a battery tender plus charger. You can leave it on the battery for long periods and it's safe with lithium. I hope this helped.

Usually a battery will shed excess charge as heat as it comes to capacity. I would check the voltage of the cells with your digital volt meter. If you do not have one get one immediately. It can save you from exploding batteries, a smoking crater where your home was; or injury.

Sounds like you have a bad cell and this will not help. Use a hydrometer and check your specific gravity across all cells.

Don't waste your money on buying an old model cell from Amazon. I had my original MyTouch for atleast 2 years with no problem until I dropped it. I purchased one from Amazon a few months ago and it lasted 3 months 6 days with no exchange or refund. So I had to buy a new cell. Do yourself a favor, save your money and buy a current model cell...the new cells have so much more to offer and the cameras are amazing.
