At the rear of the DRIFTER are two connectors. The connector type and pin functions are
defined in Tables 2 and 3 below.
dropping to zero and there being no power to lights etc.
If using a power supply without a low voltage cutout, you must monitor the
battery voltage
and, when it reaches 10.5 V, turn off the loads.
When the loads are turned off, or when the low-voltage disconnect has been
activated, the battery voltage will increase slightly—this is normal.
7.
Repeat steps 2 to 5 once or twice more.
8.
The capacity-learning process is now complete.
The above process allows the Drifter to figure out what full and empty is and
calculate the actual capacity of the battery fitted. If for any reason step 6 is not
done, steps 1 to 5 MUST be done to get a reasonable state of charge reading.
