Cycl: 

The cycles value increments when the meter is reset. Provided 

that the meter is reset each time the battery is charged then this will 
indicate the number of charge and discharge cycles on the pack. In 
order  to  prevent  false  cycle  counts  from  cases  where  frequent 
resetting is performed, the value is only incremented if more than 1.6 
amp-hours was drawn at the time of the reset. 

TotAh:

 The total battery amp-hours is a running sum of battery use 

over its life to the nearest 1Ah.

TotMi 

or

  TotKm:

  This  is  the  odometer  function,  showing  the  total 

distance that has been travelled on the battery pack.

Additional Resetting Options

In addition to a regular reset to clear the trip distance, time, and amp-
hour data (see 

Section 1.2

), there are two other reset possibilities.

5.1

Peak Reset

In  some  instances  for  diagnostic  and  performance  testing,  it  is 
desirable  to  clear  only  the  peak  statistics  (Amax, Amin,  Vmin,  and 
Smax) without resetting anything else. This can be accomplished by 
holding the right reset button when the display is showing Amin, Amax, 
and Vmin. The message "PEAK STATS RESET" will appear on the 
screen and only the previously mentioned values will be cleared. 

5.2

Full Reset

When it is time to switch battery packs, then the battery cycle count, 
lifetime amp-hours, and total distance can be zeroed by performing a 
full reset on the system. This is accomplished by continuing to hold the 
button for 6 seconds after "RESET" is displayed. The message "FULL 
RESET" will appear to indicate that all stored data has been cleared 
from memory. Notice that a Full Reset does not restore any of the gain 
or calibration values that may have been changed in the setup menu. 
The default values for these are shown in 

Section 8
