SETTING PEUKERT EXPONENT
When you select Battery Type (See Function F02 on Page 20), your Link 20 automatically sets a Peukert exponent which is generally correct. However, your batteries may have different characteristics than "average" and you may wish to change the exponent so your Time Remaining and Light Bar displays will be as accurate as possible. To change the Peukert exponent, proceed as follows:
Before you begin, select the Battery you wish to apply the new exponent to: BAT 1 or BAT 2.
A.Press and hold the SET button for 3 seconds to enter Setup mode. SEL appears
in the display. Press SEL and notice that the green 
LED is on.
B.Press SEL again and note that the 
light comes on. Continue to press the SEL button until F08 appears in the display. (This will require eighteen presses of the SEL button.) The
be lit.
C.Now press and hold the SET button. If Battery Type is set to #1 (liquid cells), the default value of 1.25 (or the previously programmed value) will appear in the display. If Battery Type #2 (gel cells) is selected, the default value of 1.11 (or the previously pro- grammed value) will be displayed. The range of values is from 1.0 to 1.50.
Holding down the SET button will cause the display to increment in 0.01 steps, after four increments the display scrolls faster. When the value you want appears, release the SET button. If you overshoot your capacity you will have to scroll all the way to 1.50 after which the display will roll over to 1.00 and continue incrementing up.
D.After 10 seconds, if no keys are pressed, the Link 20 exits the Setup mode and the selected value is stored as the new Peukert's exponent and the display returns to (volts).
