4.2. Batré Persentage Testing Modes

You can choose one of two appropriate ways to test your battery percentage:

  1. Modeu C+D- (Persén Kapasitastag(Modeu Tés e): Charging (C+) capacity adds, and discharging (D-) capacity reduces. This mode requires setting the measured battery capacity value in the product. The capacity measurement displays the current actual capacity of the measured battery after adding during charging and subtracting during discharging.
  2. Modeu C+D+ (Modeu Itungan Kapasitas Kumulatif): Charging (C+) capacity adds, and discharging (D-) capacity also adds (does not reduce). Both values are cumulative. This mode does not require setting the battery capacity value; simply clear the capacity to zero before each test.

Métode operasi: Long press the "M" key to enter the background, select "Capacity metering mode," and choose the testing mode you need.

4.3. Batré Level Persentage Color Change Display

This meter allows users to freely set the corresponding full charge voltagnilai e sarta ngurangan minimum voltage value for battery types in the background. After calculating the percentage based on the user-set threshold, the system displays the percentage color change through the battery symbol:

  • Héjo: kapasitas >30%
  • Yellow: <30% capacity
  • Beureum: kapasitas <10%

When the display is within the range of 1% to 100%, the red light on the Power panel lights up, and the relay output interface outputs a high level to control the relay to connect the current path. When it exceeds the range of 1% to 100%, the red light goes out and the relay outputs a low level to disconnect the current path, ensuring safe charging and discharging protection for the battery, avoiding the risk of battery damage due to over-charging and discharging. It can also be used for other purposes of over-voltage jeung low-voltage panyalindungan disconnection.
