5. Operation
Once connected, the digital tube display will show the battery's current power level in real-time. The display uses four blocks to indicate the charge status, with an 'N' representing the number of battery cells (for this 3S-12.6V model, N=3).
| Voltage Range | Displayed Blocks | Charge Status |
|---|---|---|
| Battery voltage > N x 3.9V (e.g., > 11.7V for 3S) | 4 blocks illuminated | Full charge (approx. 100%) |
| Battery voltage > N x 3.7V (e.g., > 11.1V for 3S) | 3 blocks illuminated | High charge (approx. 75%) |
| Battery voltage > N x 3.5V (e.g., > 10.5V for 3S) | 2 blocks illuminated | Medium charge (approx. 50%) |
| Battery voltage > N x 3.3V (e.g., > 9.9V for 3S) | 1 block illuminated | Low charge (approx. 25%) |
| Battery voltage < N x 3.3V (e.g., < 9.9V for 3S) | All 4 blocks off | Very low charge, battery needs recharging. |

6. Troubleshooting
- No Display: Ensure the positive and negative connections are correctly made and secure. Verify the battery has sufficient charge to power the indicator.
- Incorrect Reading: Double-check that the indicator model (3S-12.6V) matches the battery configuration you are testing.
7. Maintenance
