Interference No. 103,036
inches) had severe heat sinking problems. CR 1077, 1078, 1080
and 1081.
With respect to the heat sinking problem in the context
of this interference, Mr. Hein testified at CR 1143 that
heatsinking creates difficulties, i.e., it decreases the observed
temperature profile on the battery tester/voltmeter when it is in
proximity to a battery container, thus displaying inaccurate or
incorrect readings when the tester mechanism is activated.
Mr. Hein explained at CR 1194:
In the case of a fresh cell with the temperature
profiles that we exhibited, for an example, it
[the fresh cell] might show that it had only three
quarters of available power, when, in effect, it
was the fresh cell that had 100 percent available
power.
However, Mr. Hein acknowledged at CR 1195 that one could get an
accurate good/bad type reading if the tester mechanism was
properly designed. He also testified at CR 1195 and 1196:
Q. Now, within the context of the type of tester
that was applied in the batteries in your
declaration where there is a scale, could one
compensate by condensing the scale of the sensor
to compensate for some heatsinking effects?
A. I don't understand what you mean by
compensating the scale or condensing the scale.
Can you clarify that?
