SYNCHRONIZING TO YOUR BATTERY
A charged battery has zero A hrs removed. Synchronizing your Link 20
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 20:
1) Install the Link 20 on a fully charged battery and it will be in sync.
2) If the Link 20 is installed on a partially charged battery, simply charge until
the charged parameters are met. The Dual Watch light bars show this by flashing the right
green lights. The Link 20 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 20 resets Amp-hours to zero, starts counting down, and is
in sync.
If the Link 20 should ever get out of sync with the battery state of charge it must
be resynchronized. The best way is to be sure the battery is discharged at least 10% of the
declared battery capacity and then recharge until the charged parameters are met. When
the next discharge cycle begins, the Amp-hour display should reset to zero.
Remember: Periodic controlled extra charging insures that the Link 20 remains
in sync with the battery's state-of-charge.
