A lowerdischarge limit can be set which will guarantee that the battery will always have a minimum remaining level of electricitystored in case of a power cut. However, this will also reduce the available capacity for day to day power cycling.If you experience frequent power cuts in your area you can set the lower discharge limit to an appropriate level.Example: If you want to ensure that you are able to charge your laptop (50 W) and keep your router (30 W) runningduring a power cut you need 80 Wh (watt hours) of storage to bridge one hour without power. As 80 Wh equal 1.% of thebattery’s capacity, you would have to set your lower discharge limit to greater than 1% to ensure there is backup powerto remain connected for one hour. If you set your lower discharge limit to 5% you could charge your laptop and stayconnected to the internet for 5 hours.6.7 User settingsTo access the User Settings you first need to stop the battery operating by pressing the ON/OFF button for 1 second.
