Title: How to Change battery amp hours for new battery
Post by: sga1 on July 13, 2020, 03:53:16 PM
Hello all, I want to change the amp hours for a new battery set up.  I can't find this info in the manual. I've tried factory reset, pressing the setup button does nothing, ( is it suppose to?)  Must be a way to do this, what if I changed from flooded to lithium?  What am I missing here? Thanks for any assistance.

 CLASSIC - HOW DO I CLEAR THE LOGS IN MY CLASSIC?
Under the MAIN MENU step to LOGS and press ENTER
NOW, again press ENTER
Use UP/DN to pick the LOG.
When prompted the use the SOFT KEY under "YES" or "NO".

If you don't have this option then your FIRMWARE is too old.

I guess I wasn't clear in my post.  I mean when you first set up the kid out of the box, your choose battery type,flooded,agm,gel,lithium, how many amp hours the battery you are using has  ect. I need to get into that function to change a few things for my new battery. It has twice as many amp hours that will be available. Thanks

Oops sorry I didn't notice you were talking about the Kid - I was speaking of the Classic.
I haven't been using my Kid but just went and turned it on and looked for that menu and couldn't find it either !
Must be hidden in there somewhere.
I found the info you need - it is in this document
