V1.0
Remaining capacity percentage
: This shows the percentage of the actual full-charge capacity of the
battery. 0% indicates empty while 100% means full.
Remaining capacity in Amp-hours
: The remaining capacity of the battery is indicated in Amp-hours.
Real voltage
: Displays of the real voltage level of the battery. Voltage helps assess approximate
state-of-charge and to check for proper charging.
Real current
: The current display informs of the current load or charge of the battery. The display
shows the instantaneously measured current rate flowing out of the battery. If the current flows into
the battery, the display will show a positive current value. If the current flows out of the battery, it is
negative, and the value will be shown with a preceding negative symbol (i.e -4.0).
Real power
: This shows the power rate being consumed while discharging or supplied while
charging.
Time-to-go:
Shows an estimate of how long the battery will sustain a load. Indicates the time
remaining until battery is completely discharged when the battery is discharging. The remaining time
will be calculated from the residual capacity and the real current.
Battery symbol
: When the battery is being charged it will cycle to show it is filling. When the battery
is full the symbol will be shaded.
5. Setting up
5.1. Setup battery monitor parameters
The first time you use your A016, you will need to set the battery to its starting point at either empty or
full capacity to start the monitoring process.
Quark-elec recommend starting at full (after the battery has been fully charged) unless you are unsure
of the capacity of the battery. In this case the capacity (CAP) and High voltage (HIGH V) need to be
setup. The capacity can be found on the specifications of the battery, this should normally be listed on
the battery. The high voltage can be read from the screen after fully charged.
If you are unsure of the battery capacity, then you can start with the battery fully depleted (empty).
Check the voltage shown on the screen and set this as the low voltage (LOW V). Then set the monitor
to its highest capacity (e.g. 999Ah). Afterwards please charge the battery fully and record the capacity
when charging is complete. Enter the Ah reading for capacity (CAP).
