English term or phrase: link meter

The Link products have a feature called Charge Efficiency Factor, also referred to as "CEF". This feature allows the Link meter to keep track of battery charging performance as batteries are not 100% efficient when deeply discharged and then recharged. For example, if the CEF is 90%, this means that the battery bank is 90% efficient, also meaning that there is an inefficiency of 10%. During recharge, the Link meter monitors the recharge Amp-Hours and takes into consideration the CEF.
