Ah (AMP HOURS)

When this indicator is illuminated, the LED display shows the total amp hours used since the last time the amp-hour meter was reset. The range is from ±0.00 to ±167,000 amp hours. When the decimal point flashes, multiply the reading by 1000 (i.e., 111. = 111,000). This meter automatically resets to zero approximately one minute after the CHARGED LED remains ON solid (stops flashing).
