Battery History

The Link 1000 stores four kinds of information about the battery.

To access battery history:

1.Hold down SET until SEL appears.

2.Press SEL until the DATA LED comes on.

E99 is displayed. This is the Charging Efficiency Factor (CEF).

3.Press SEL again.

+I999 is displayed. This is the number of CEF Recalculations.

4.Press SEL again.

–999is displayed. This is the Deepest Depth of Discharge.

5.Press SEL again.

i999 is displayed. This is the Average Depth of Discharge.

Interpreting Battery History

E99: Charging Efficiency Factor The Charging Efficiency Factor (CEF) is the energy efficiency of the battery. This indicates the health of the battery. The lower the efficiency, the worse the health of the battery.

The Ah CEF, not the kilowatt-hour CEF, is displayed. A display of E99 indicates a 99% CEF based on Ah. The Default setting is 95%.

If the CEF display has a u in front of it, this means the CEF has been selected by the user. See page 31 for details about changing the CEF settings.

+I999: Number of CEF Recalculations This is the number of times the battery has been discharged more than 10% and then completely recharged (recharged until the Charged
