Menu Option 4, Overall Capacity
Menu option 4 shows the current possible amount of charge the battery may hold
when fully charged (as a percentage) compared to the factory battery capacity.
Menu Option 5, Battery Status
Menu option 5 shows the difference (as a percentage) between the highest measured
cell voltage and the lowest measured cell voltage, measured at the same time.
The BMS tries to balance the charging status of all 4 battery cells to the same level. By
measuring the difference between the highest cell voltage and the lowest cell voltage,
the actual battery status is determined. This status can be shown by activating menu 5.
