Just wondering whether with new batteries I just force a reset when fully charged (currently shows around 63% when charged) or whether I should fiddle with the charge floor etc parameters?

I have not bothered to config my Link-10 to the point where it auto detects 100% charge, as a result I frequently manually reset to 100% after a period on shore power ( it only take 3 seconds).

I find that a misleading amp-hour credit builds up when on shore power for a few days.

Yes and I didn't bother with the parameters to begin with but kept getting false info, so I sat down with the instructions and worked through the set-up - now tells me exactly what's happening and given the cost, it has been really worth the effort.

Link 10...

I've used a Link 10 for years and wouldn't be without it. If you're going to get any value out of it you must set it up exactly as per the instructions.
