BDI GAUGE
The BDI (Battery Discharge Indicator) is similar to a fuel gauge
on a gas-fueled vehicle. It gives the current state of charge of
the battery pack while the key is in the ON position. The 100%
charged position is all the way to the top and the fully discharged
position is on the bottom. When the indicator reaches about
10% remaining charge, the Power Conservation Mode feature will
begin to help economize battery usage for the remainder of the
discharge cycle.
Note: in order to safeguard your batteries, only the top 90% of
your charge is shown on this gauge. When you hit 0% on the BDI
gauge, you actually have 10% battery charge left. Your car will
shut down at this point so that you do not void your warranty. You
need to recharge your car as soon as possible so it does not drain
below this point.
Note: If you have left your car unplugged for more than a few days
the BDI Gauge will not accurately reflect the remaining charge.
AMP METER
The AMP Meter indicates how many amperes are being drawn in
order to move the car. This is a rough indication of the amount of
electrical energy being used.
VOLT METER
The VOLT Meter indicates the voltage of the lithium battery pack.
This is a rough measure of the present charge status of the battery pack.
ECO-METER
The ECO-METER provides feedback as to how your driving habits (and
the terrain) are affecting the draw on the batteries, which affects your
driving range. The more green that is showing, the more you are driving
in a fashion that is economical on the battery pack. The Wheego LiFe
utilizes regenerative braking, which captures kinetic energy normally lost
during braking, and feeds it back into the battery pack.
