what does ''Lo'' mean on my izip ezgo

[avronb]

There are three red lights on my battery meter,Full,Lo,and empty.From what i have read on the net and heard from you guys is that a SLA battery should never be run right down,so should i assume the 'Lo'' is about half discharged and empty is completely flat,(2x12 volt )
Thanks

I'd say Lo is an advisory indication of a good time to recharge and a warning of diminishing range left.

In high discharge applications like supplying an e-bike motor, it's impossible to empty this battery type and realise the full capacity due to something called the Peukert effect which might only allow as little as half the content to be used.

So basically just charge as often as you are able to since SLA likes this kind of cyclic charge usage.
