1.1
As a Fuel Gauge
Amp-hours (Ah) are the 'fuel' equivalent of a battery pack, but rather
than behaving like a fuel gauge and estimating how much fuel is left,
the Cycle Analyst instead tells you exactly how much you have used,
starting from 0 and counting upwards. For example, if you have an 8
Ah battery pack, and the Cycle Analyst shows 6.1 amp-hours
consumed, you would know there are just under 2 Ah remaining in the
battery. This will become quite intuitive after a few rides, and you will
be able to accurately gauge when the pack will run flat.
1.2
Resetting
After you have recharged the battery pack, you should reset the trip
statistics (Ah, Distance, and Time) to clear them all to zero. This is
done by pressing and holding the right button for 1 second, until the
message “Reset” shows up across the display.
1.3
Saving
The Cycle Analyst will automatically save all the statistics when power
from the battery pack is cut out. This allows you to turn off the vehicle at
any time and turn it on later without losing data.

Device Summary
Like most electric monitoring devices, the Cycle Analyst measures the
battery current in amps by amplifying the small voltage produced
when current is made to flow across a shunt resistor.
