Operating Instructions
Display Modes
The 2.4-inch LCD screen features two display modes: Dark Mode and Bright Color Mode. For outdoor use or in intense light, manually switch to Bright Color Mode to enhance visibility.
Figure 4: Comparison of Dark Mode and Bright Color Mode on the display unit.
Multifunctional Display
The display provides real-time information on various parameters:
- Estimated charge and discharge time
- Remaining capacity percentage
- Power (W)
- Voltage (V)
- Current (A)
- Charge and discharge status
