Thedetailedprocesswerecommendisasfollows:
1. EntertheSetupModeandviewtheBattery apacityparameter.Itshould

4. Switchonloads(e.g.lights,TVetc.)untilthebatteryisbeingdischarged
at10%–20%capacityrate.
e.g.Ifyouhavean80Ahbattery,10%of80is8,20%of80is16.

Note:Whendischargedatthe20%rate,thedischargetimewillbe
