State of Charge V6 (SoC) Meter
PLEASE READ ENTIRE GUIDE BEFORE INSTALLATION OR ANY POWER-UP ATTEMPT
Description:
The Lithionics Battery SoC meter is designed to track battery state of charge (percent of usable
energy left in the battery) as well as other useful data variables. Tracking state of charge is
accomplished by an internal, high sensitivity hall-effect sensor. SoC meter data will only be
correct if the configuration variables are set correctly, which are pre-set initially by Lithionics
Battery, but user adjustable with supporting hardware. If they are ever accidently modified a
record of the default values is included in this manual for your reference. It will also track and
display live amperage (A), live wattage (W), battery voltage (V Pk), temperature (F/C), amp hours
(Ah), watt hours (Wh), etc. The meter will be most accurate if the battery is fully charged on a
regular basis. If the battery is always partially charged then the SoC meter reading may drift long
term and will become less accurate. When the most accurate measurements are required it is
recommended to perform a full charge weekly.

Typically this value is 3.65V per cell. So a 12V (4 cell) battery is 4 x 3.65 = 14.6V , subtract .2V for charger accuracy tolerance = 14.4V full voltage setting . You may also calculate your maximum voltage by the following table: 2016 | Lithionics Battery LLC | SOCV6 REV0 PRE-RELEASE... - Page 8 0C ( freezing point ). For example, if you set this to 10% (the recommended value for Lithionics Battery cells), then the Fuel Gauge will report 10% less capacity at 0C, linearly changing across a wide temp range. This value only effects Fuel Gauge reading, SOC reading still remains true to battery capacity regardless of the temperature.
