Helpful hints

 Fuel percentage will not be displayed during discharge. 

 Fuel percentage is only accurate if you are using a preset having a fuel table

that’s appropriate for your pack. If you can’t find a preset with a fuel table that

matches your pack, you can generate one using the Fuel Table Wizard. 

 Cell 1 is the cell connected to the pack’s negative lead. 

 Cell Bypass indicates the percentage of bypass applied for cell balancing: 0% =

charging normally, 100% = full bypass to allow other cells to catch up. 

 The mAh IN/OUT field shows the mAh value of the previous operation, if available.

This is especially useful when cycling a pack, as you can see what the previous

discharge mAh value was even when the charge mAh is increasing. Keep in mind that

batteries take more energy to charge than they deliver, so the mAh IN will usually be

larger than the mAh OUT. 

 Once you start an operation, you cannot modify the preset. If you made an error when

editing the preset, stop the operation, edit the preset, update the PowerLab 8, then

restart the operation. You can queue up preset edits, but you can’t update the

PowerLab 8 until it is stopped. 

 You can override charge or discharge currents during an operation by pressing the

ENTER button on the PowerLab 8. This temporarily changes the current setting (the

change is not saved to the preset).
