VOLTS or battery AMP-HOURS. Setting units (V or AH) in setting screens change
based on present mode setting.

With charge efficiency set to 94%, battery is expected to retain 94 amp-hours for
each 100 amp-hours of charge. With charge efficiency mode set to FIXED, charge
efficiency value remains as set. If set to AUTO ADJUST it automatically adjusts
based on actual charge efficiency to continuously improve remaining battery
capacity accuracy.
