Reading the Bar Graph

Above the digital display are four LEDs. They tell you the battery's state- of-charge at a glance. Four green LEDs means your battery is full. One flashing red light means it is nearly discharged. The table below shows the six different displays indicating battery state-of-charge. Under certain light conditions green may appear yellow.

EMPTY FULL

BATTERYSTATE-OF-CHARGE

Full (Charged Parameters Met)

80–99%+ 60–79%+ 40–59%+ 20–39%+ 0–19%+

Under the LED bar graph are the words RESET, DATA, LOCK, and FUNC. These words are ignored during normal operation. They are used to indicate programming and advanced function modes which are explained beginning on page 28.

Setting Battery Capacity is Important

The LED bar graph display shows how much of your battery has been con- sumed. If you do not set your battery capacity correctly, your bar graph will not give you an accurate indication of battery state-of-charge. The Link 10 also uses declared capacity to calculate the Time Remaining, the charged current for Charge Efficiency Factor calculations, and other control functions.

Setting capacity correctly is very important—see page 21
