LI-ION BATTERY AVAILABLE
CHARGE GAUGE
The gauge
*
1
indicates the approximate
available Li-ion battery charge to run the vehicle.
Charge the Li-ion battery before the dis-
play reaches the bottom line.
The low battery charge warning light
illumi-
nates when the Li-ion battery available charge
gauge is getting low. Charge as soon as it is
convenient, preferably before the display
reaches the bottom line. When the display
reaches the bottom of the display and the low
battery charge light illuminated, there is a very
small reserve of Li-ion battery charge remaining.
NOTE:
. The number of segments illuminated
on the Li-ion battery available charge
gauge is determined by the available
charge and the amount of charge the
Li-ion battery is capable of storing at
the current temperature.
. Temperature affects the amount of
charge the Li-ion battery is capable of
storing. The Li-ion battery is capable of
storing less power when the Li-ion
battery temperature is cold. The Li-ion
battery is capable of storing more
power when the Li-ion battery is warm.
The number of segments illuminated
on the Li-ion battery available charge
gauge can change based on the
amount of power the Li-ion battery is
capable of storing. For example, when
the Li-ion battery becomes colder,
more segments on the Li-ion battery
available charge gauge illuminate be-
cause the available charge is a greater
percentage of the Li-ion battery’s cap-
ability of storing power. When the Li-
ion battery becomes warmer, less seg-
ments on the Li-ion battery available
charge gauge illuminate because the
remaining energy is a lower percentage
of the Li-ion battery’s capability of
storing power.
