Battery capacity

[jonbrum]

When I plug the battery in it shows the capacity as nil even when it’s fully charged, how do I get it to show full capacity and remaining capacity?

[jonbrum]

I guess Spirit stars at zero then counts up for capacity used but the percentage is based on the total battery capacity you enter, is that correct?

[Sepp62]

That's correct.

So presumably if I am using a 5200mah battery but set the capacity to 3900mah when it reads 100% used I will still have 25% left in the pack.
So I should be able to set voice alarms = 20%,40%,60%, 80% etc that should work and at 100% leave 25% in the pack?

You can use Alarm for Used Capacity. Then you can just set 75% for alarm. Regardless of used battery.

[jonbrum]

Is it better to set the detection method for used capacity as after model selection or the spirit RFID sensor.

Please choose option: Model selection
RFID sensor is peripheral connected to the Spirit to automatically detect battery. This will be available for order soon.
