Time to Go Area:
The String View screen can display a Time to Go (TTG) number. When an MPM
discharge starts, the TTG box on String View indicates the estimated remaining time that
the battery can deliver power. To disable this feature, leave the Amp Hours and Peukert
Number boxes at zero.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The TTG Time to Go number is only an estimate.
Amp Hours - Type the amp hours of the battery at the 8 hour rating. To disable the
estimated time feature, set to 0.
Peukert Number - Type the Peukert number derived by using Peukert's equation. Refer
to Understanding the Time to Go Algorithm. To disable the estimated time feature, set
to 0.
