READING THE LIGHT BARS

Above the Link 20 numeric display are two light bars, each with four lights. They show you battery state-

of-charge at a glance.

Four green lights means your battery is nearly full (80–100% charged).

A single flashing red light means it's nearly discharged.

Light bar scaling is independently settable. As the Link 20 comes from the factory, it is set to show a flashing red light whenever your battery is more than 80% discharged (20% charged). The default setting usually indicates enough energy remains with two yellow lights showing to start an engine-driven charging source. If desired, you may scale the light bar to show a flashing red light when your battery is more than 40% discharged, however, this is not recommended. To set a discharge floor other than 100%, see page 19, Function F09.

The Light Bars operate on rate-correctedamp hours. If you have heavily discharged a battery bank, the light bar may tell you to charge before you would normally make that decision based on the amp-hour display. See High Discharge Rates, page 26.

6WE RECOMMEND: Charge your batteries when the Light Bars tell you to!
