Target Capacity
8. Calculation of Target Capacity
To establish a workable target setting for your require-
ment, the following evaluation is recommended:
• Use a battery with a known working-capacity reading
• Fully charge the battery and use it in a normal field
situation
• Measure the remaining capacity after the routine
shift.
• Select PRIME or AUTO and insert the battery. The
first discharge reveals the Residual Capacity. The
second discharge is the Full Capacity.
•
• With the Residual and Full Capacities known, the
consumed energy can be calculated by deducting
the Residual Capacity from the Total Capacity.

If the Residual Capacity is less than 20%, the Target
Capacity should be increased by 10%. Likewise, if the
Residual Capacity is 30% and higher, the Target
Capacity may be reduced by 10%.
