A check engine light or malfunction indicator lamp (MIL), is a tell-tale that a computerized engine-management system uses to indicate a malfunction or problem with the vehicle ranging from minor (such as a loose gas cap) to serious (worn spark plugs, engine problems or a faulty oil valve, etc.).
Determining the charge remaining in many battery types not connected to a system that monitors battery use is not reliably possible with a voltmeter. In battery types where EMF remains approximately constant during discharge, but resistance increases, voltage across battery terminals is not a good indicator of capacity.
In a battery electric vehicle (BEV), the state of charge indicates the remaining energy in the battery pack. [4] It is the equivalent of a fuel gauge.. The state of charge can help to reduce electrical car's owners' anxiety when they are waiting in the line or stay at home since it will reflect the progress of charging and let owners know when it will be ready.

In 2011, Garmin released its first GPS watch for the sport of golfing: the Approach S1. [35] A year later in 2012, the company released its fēnix adventure smartwatch, designed for outdoor sports and recreation. [36] 2014 saw the release of Vivofit, Garmin’s first wearable fitness band with a replaceable battery with over one year of battery ...
A battery balancer or regulator is an electrical device in a battery pack that performs battery balancing. [2] Circuitry that includes designs to balance cell charges during battery pack recharging may be either active or passive in its design, [ 3 ] and is most often found in lithium-ion batteries , [ 4 ] e.g., for laptop computers, electrical ...
The lithium–sulfur battery (Li–S battery) is a type of rechargeable battery. It is notable for its high specific energy . [ 2 ] The low atomic weight of lithium and moderate atomic weight of sulfur means that Li–S batteries are relatively light (about the density of water).
With time, the charge stored in the chemicals at the interface, often called interface charge or surface charge, spreads by diffusion of these chemicals throughout the volume of the active material. Consider a battery that has been completely discharged (such as occurs when leaving the car lights on overnight, a current draw of about 6 amps).
A precision approach path indicator (PAPI) is a system of lights on the side of an airport runway threshold that provides visual descent guidance information during final approach. It is generally located on the left-hand side of the runway approximately 300 metres (980 ft) beyond the landing threshold of the runway.
