SYNCHRONIZING TO YOUR BATTERY
A charged battery has zero A hrs removed. Synchronizing your
Link 1000
to read zero when the battery is charged insures that you always know the net number of
A hrs removed.
There are two ways to synchronize your
Link 1000
:
1) Install the
Link 1000
on a fully charged battery and it will be in sync.
2) If the
Link 1000
is installed on a partially charged battery, simply charge
with your
Freedom
inverter/charger until the charged parameters are met. The
Link 1000
will begin counting up and will display overcharging A hrs as a positive number. When
the battery is fully charged, turn off the charging source. When discharging begins the
Link 1000
resets Amp-hours to zero, starts counting down, and is in sync.
If the
Link 1000
should ever get out of sync with the battery state-of-charge it must
be resynchronized. The best way is to discharge the battery at least 10% of the declared
battery capacity and then recharged until the charged parameters are met and the meter
resets the Amp-hours display to 0. Overcharge Amp-hours will be displayed as a positive
(unsigned) number. When the next discharge cycle begins, any overcharge Amp-hours will
reset to zero.
Remember occasional controlled overcharging insures that the
Link 1000
remains
in sync with the battery's state-of-charge.
