The lower right portion of the screen contains the battery health bar and provides
the battery calibration function.
The health bar shows the batter’s health by percentage. A low percentage indicates
poor health and therefore the need to perform a gauge reset to calibrate the battery’s
capacity and improve the battery’s performance. The gauge reset process includes
discharging and then fully recharging the battery in two cycles. It can take several
hours.
