Four green lights means your battery is nearly
full (80–100% charged).
A single flashing red light means it's nearly discharged.
Light bar scaling is independently settable. As the
Link 20
comes
from the factory, it is set to show a flashing red light whenever your
battery is more than 80% discharged (20% charged). The default
setting usually indicates enough energy remains with two yellow lights
showing to start an engine-driven charging source. If desired, you
may scale the light bar to show a flashing red light when your battery
is more than 40% discharged, however, this is not recommended. To
set a discharge floor other than 100%, see page 19, Function F09.
READING THE LIGHT BARS
Above the
Link 20
numeric display
are two light bars, each with four
lights. They show you battery state-
of-charge at a glance.

The Light Bars operate on
rate-corrected
amp hours. If you have heavily discharged
a battery bank, the light bar may tell you to charge
before
you would normally make that
decision based on the amp-hour display. See High Discharge Rates, page 26.
WE RECOMMEND: Charge your batteries when the Light Bars tell you to!
