SYNCHRONIZING TO YOUR BATTERY
A charged battery has zero amp hours removed. Synchronizing your Link
20 to read zero when the battery is charged ensures that you always know the net number
of amp hours removed.
There are two ways to synchronize your Link 20:
1) Install the Link 20 on a fully charged battery and it will be in sync.
2) If the Link 20 is installed on a partially charged battery, simply charge until
the charged parameters are met. The Dual Watch light bars show this by flashing the right
green lights. The Link 20 will begin counting up and will display overcharging amp hours
as a positive number. When the battery is fully charged, turn off the charging source.
When discharging begins the Link 20 resets amp hours to zero, starts counting down,
and is in sync.
If the Link 20 should ever get out of sync with the battery state of charge it must
be resynchronized. The best way is to be sure the battery is discharged at least 10% of the
declared battery capacity and then recharge until the charged parameters are met. When the
next discharge cycle begins, the amp-hour display should reset to zero.
Remember: Periodic controlled extra charging ensures that the Link 20 remains
in sync with the battery's state-of-charge.
