How do I ensure my battery is fully charged ?
The instructions supplied with my new 48v battery tell me to charge the battery until all 5 bars on display are visible then stop charging.
The same set of instructions inform me that the 5 bars indicate a charge of 80-100 percent of the capacity.
So I am assuming that if I stop charging when the 5th bar shows I only have battery charged to the lower end of the range specified. This seems to be confirmed by the fifth bar only being visible for a couple of minutes use.
The 5 bars seem a very basic method of determining a complete charge is it possible to add a voltmeter to give a more accurate status?
My lack of understanding of things electric is legendary and if I am over thinking this then please let me know and I will go and l worry about something else
