Description:

   

The Lithionics Battery SoC meter is designed to track battery state of charge (percent of usable 
energy left in the battery) as well as other useful data variables. Tracking  state  of charge  is 
accomplished by an internal, high sensitivity hall-effect sensor. SoC meter  data  will  only  be 
correct  if the  configuration variables are set correctly, which are pre-set initially by Lithionics 
Battery, but user adjustable with supporting hardware. If they are ever accidently modified a 
record of the default values is included in this manual for your reference. It will also track and 
display live amperage (A), live wattage (W), battery voltage (V Pk), temperature (F/C), amp hours 
(Ah), watt hours (Wh), etc. The  meter will be most accurate if the battery is fully charged on a 
regular basis.   If the battery is always partially charged then the SoC meter reading may drift long 
term and will become less accurate. When the most accurate measurements are required it is 
recommended  to perform a full charge  weekly.
