Battery State of Charge

This meter displays the estimated state-of-charge (SOC) of the battery or
battery bank. The SOC is based on the estimated battery capacity. Since
discharging the batteries to less than one half of their amp-hour capacity may
damage the batteries, the meter estimates the 0% SOC and protects the
batteries from over discharge.
The display can be viewed as a percent-of-capacity or bar graph by
pressing the Settings push-button (RIGHT arrow).

(6 minutes).
