I just installed a new battery gage. The gage indicates “full
battery”, but I know that this battery has been in use for several
hours, and the battery capacity is much lower than “full”. Why does the
gage show Full?
A new gage installed for the first time will read “Full” (the final step
of our Quality Control procedure is to reset the gage to full). As
vehicle use begins, the energy from the battery is used, and the gage
will move quickly through its steps to “catch up” with the true battery
capacity. The process of the gage dropping from full to empty will take
at least ½ hour on a loaded battery. |
How does the instrument measure the discharge of the battery?
The instrument measures the Voltage under Load below a ‘reference”. As
the vehicle is operated, the load on the battery causes the voltage to
drop below this reference level. The gage will accumulate the time the
voltage is below the reference. When the voltage is below the reference
for a sufficient period of time, the gage will reset its timer, lower
it’s reference, and indicate a lower state-of-charge. This process is
repeated until the gage reaches “empty”. If the load is removed from the
battery, the voltage will rise above the reference, the timer will stop,
and the gage will continue to indicate the current state-of-charge. This
technique of voltage-time integration to calculate the battery
state-of-charge is far more accurate than using a simple voltmeter. |
What Does "LVD" mean?
Low Voltage Disconnect

What are Magnetic Blowouts?
Rare Earth Magnets molded into the top cover which produce magnetic
fields which act on the main contact arcing, thereby extinguishing the
arc outwards. This is particularly true in the case of "Inductive
Loads".
