Battery remaining time [BATT. Remain]

When you use a battery with BMS (Battery Management System), the "BATT. Remain" item shows the remaining time until the battery voltage reaches the threshold low voltage (set by the "BATT. warning" item) in one minute steps. You can also see the remaining time via the "BATT. status" item (see the next page).

1)While the unit is stopped, press the [SHIFT] key followed by the [ENTER/YES] key.

2)Use the [MENU] dial to select the "BATTERY SETUP" menu and press the [ENTER/YES] key.

The display shows the screen for battery-related settings.

The remaining time until the battery voltage reaches the threshold low voltage is shown in one minute at the position indicated by an arrow below.

<Note>: The displayed time is calculated from the current power consumption so it varies depending on the condition. The unit display the remaining time only as a guide and we do not guarantee the time.

<Note>: When a non-BMS battery or the [DC-IN] power is active, "BATT. remain" does not display the remaining time. When a non-BMS battery is active, "--h --m" is shown. When [DC-IN] is active, "<DC-IN>" is shown.

<Note>: When batteries are linked (using PowerLink batteries), the average value calculated by the batteries is shown.

<Note>: When the battery priority is set by the "Active battery" item, the remaining time of the prior battery is shown. When the active battery changes, the remaining time of the other battery is shown.

<Note>: The "BATT Remain" item only displays the remaining time. Unlike the other menu items, pressing the [ENTER/YES] key does not change anything.

3)Press the [EXIT] key repeatedly until you exit the MENU mode.
