calibrated and has a precision of

1mA. In case of a discharge current, the instant watt is also displayed
this is the actual internal temperature of the pack measured at the middle of the cell stack. All the safety protections
implemented inside the battery refer to this temperature for their functionality.
shows the available capacity accumulated inside the battery pack, expressed in mAh. This value decreases down to
0 mAh during discharge and increases during charge up to the max value allowed (Full Charge Capacity).
is the ratio between Remaining Capacity and Full charge Capacity. This is the value represented by the 5 LEDs when
the LED button on the battery pack is pressed.
shows the capacity of the pack when in full charge state. This value is "learned" by the battery management system
during the initial testing on the production lines, and is kept updated automatically during pack life.
Initially, the full-charge capacity may differ slightly (in excess or in defect) from the nominal capacity, but It should be
expected that this value slowly decreases through ageing due to the permanent loss of capacity that steadily occurs
from each charge/discharge cycle.
shows the expected time to empty (in case of discharge) or the expected time to full (in case of charge) in minutes.
The amount of time is calculated at run time based on the average current handled by the battery in the last 60
seconds. Note that the data shown may vary rapidly until the current stabilizes.
When the battery is idle, this information is not available.
Battery Status Info
several status bits are cyclically read from the battery whenever the
pressed,:
gives some information about some states and errors. Each bit is set ON when higlighted, OFF when grayed.
OCA, Overcharge Alarm: if set, means that the battery is being charged beyond the maximum programmed
overcharge limit
TCA, Terminate Charge Alarm: if set, means that the battery has detected a primary charge termination
OTA, Overtemperature alarm: if set, means that the battery temperature has reached the programmed
Overtemperature threshold (typically 60°C both in charge and discharge)
TDA, Terminate Discharge Alarm: if set, means that remaining capacity is 0, or the cell Voltage is less than
