Battery Charge Level Detection

The Power Module knows what the charge level of the battery is at any time by calculating the battery current when the vehicle is being driven and measuring the discharge current.

When the vehicle is not in use, the charge level is re-calculated and updated by measuring the closed circuit battery voltage. If the vehicle battery is replaced it must be registered with the Power Module so that the stored values can be deleted and a new calculation started. This operation is described in "Service Functions".
