The Light Bar
The light bar shows state-of-charge at a glance.
Here's what the lights mean:
When you press the button, you
SEL
ect a numeric display. In normal
operation, each press illuminates a sta-
tus light. The
light indicates Volts
are being displayed, the light indi-
cates Amps, indicates Amp-hours,
and indicates Time. We’ll explain
these terms on the next page.
The Button
For shortest charging times,
lead acid battery in marine or
RV service is normally dis-
charged 50% then recharged
to 85-90% of full. Restoring
the last 10-15% of a full charge
requires a long time - typically
2 - 3 hours. This means only
35-40% of your battery capac-
ity is actually available for
normal use. Occasionally dis-
charging a battery more deeply
is perfectly acceptable.
