The integrated battery protection system prevents excessive discharge of your vehicle's battery. You can select from three levels: High (HEGH), Medium (MED), and Low (LOW).

• High (HEGH): Provides the strongest battery protection, cutting off power at a higher voltage to ensure your vehicle starts.
• Medium (MED): A balanced setting for battery protection.
• Low (LOW): Allows for deeper battery discharge, providing longer operation time but with less battery protection.

Refer to the control panel or user interface for instructions on how to select the battery protection level.
