Mkove MK75 Battery Monitor – Instruction Manual
Initial Use of the Device
When the unit is first supplied with power it will take second or two to boot before it displays
anything on the screen.
Battery Settings
For the battery monitor to work correctly with your battery it is important to specify the correct
battery specifications including battery type, battery capacity and the number of battery calls or
voltage.
The battery capacity is usually the sticker capacity or manufacturers specification of the battery. It
is important to set the battery capacity correctly and not confuse this with CCA or any other
specification.
To set the battery settings;
• Press Menu then choose Settings then Battery Settings.
The number of cells can either be set specifically or set to auto where the battery monitor will try to
set the correct cell count based on voltage. The auto cell count is set either when the battery
monitor starts or when the battery settings are changed. As the possible cell voltages in some cases
overlap it is possible that the auto cell setting will be incorrect if the battery is in a low state of
charge.
Initial State of Charge
When first powered on the battery monitor will set an estimated state of charge based on the
batteries voltage. This however will only be close to accurate if the battery has been in a resting
state for some time.
The state of charge will be more accurate after the battery monitor has seen the battery go to a full
charge and indicates “FULL” on it’s display.
Zero Amps
Your system should show 0.00 amps when there is nothing connected to it. If required the amps can
be zeroed by choosing Settings then Zero Amps.
