How low on voltage can a Garmin Livescope go before turning off?

    My Garmin Livescope gave an audible and visual alarm yesterday at 11.2 volts.

    I tried to change the warning to like 5 volts but it said the minimum for the alarm was 9 volts.

    How low on voltage can a Garmin Livescope go before turning off?

    I assumed it could down to like 1 volt before turning off.

    Is it bad for the battery to go down to 1 volt?

    I’m using an Amp 32v battery. Is there a way on my Livescope to show battery status, as in how much battery life I have left?

    ***** I also want to a know how low I can go with the battery before I have to charge it for future reference. *****

    Probably needs atleast 10-11 volts. Why would you think 1?curious.

    Just close to end of battery.

    I’d assume a lot of things would go down to 1 then battery die.

    Batteries don’t really work like that, depending on your Battery, it is probably “dead” at 10v.

    11.2 is all but dead for a SLA battery.
    Low voltage can screw up your electronics. Personally I like the stay above 11.9 volts.
    For reference 12.2 is 50% charge for a SLA battery. Lithium batteries will be different specs

    I’m new to Livescope too. I’d like to know this as well.

    The livescope specs state that a minimum of 11 volts input power is needed.

    Good to know.

    I took voltage to mean battery power/status and obviously I was wrong.

    Hopefully it’s a 12v 32 amp hour battery.

    I assume you mean the amped 32ah 14.8 volt battery. Fully charged they are 16.8 volts, fully discharged they stop at 12 volts.

    Correct.
