5.3.1.2 Capacity
Capacity indicates the quantity of electric charge that a
battery can deliver or store. It is specied in ampere hours
(Ah). Even when used properly, capacity diminishes over
time due to chemical reactions (ageing). So it reduces
with every charging cycle for example. A battery also ages
slightly when it is not used.
A charging cycle is the complete charging of a battery from
0 to 100% capacity. It follows that not every charging
process equates to a charging cycle. For example, a charge
from 50 to 100% capacity is only half a charging cycle.
1. Press the battery button for ve seconds. The maximum available
capacity (state of health) of the battery will be displayed.
Display Description Battery charge level
100%
3 – 5 LEDs light up The battery has a capacity
of over 50%.
< 50%
0 – 2 LEDs light up The capacity of the battery
is below 50%.
The battery may need to be replaced when fewer than
3 LEDs light up. Discuss how to proceed with your cycle
dealer.
