Hello all,

A question to Revo/Mako users that run ChaDis (an excellent battery monitoring program at http://millican.info/Home/):

After charging the battery and a new discharge cycle starts, does the previously drawn graph return to a straight line or does the new charge/discharge information graph over the top of it? If it does return to a straight line, what am I doing wrong that makes the previous data stay there?

( A little side info: I started ChaDis for the first time with a ~30% charge on the batteries. It then graphed the discharge rates for the remaining time. Upon charging and beginning the discharge cycle over, the graph started at the 0 hour mark. However, the graph marks from the first use are still visible. Please note that my current discharge rates haven't made it to the 6 hour mark.)

Hope this makes sense. Thanks for any help that you can provide.

I do not use a Mako anymore, but used ChaDis on it when I did. ChaDis does track the usage and uses the prior data to calculate out the remaining charge time. I believe that there is a menu option to zero out the data. Try pressing the 'menu' key to see if there is one.

Hopefully somebody who actively uses it can help you better. Or you can post a question to Kevin on his website.
