Green, Yellow and Red dots advise what percentage of total batteries in your facility for that pool are available. 10%+ Green, 10 - 5% Yellow, 5 - 0% Red. Low battery available counts indicate either a fleet shortage or too many in abnormal status. Average Change Out Time shows how long from starting the battery change operation to completion is taking. Green, Yellow and Red dots advise change out time ranges. 0-8 min Green, 8-10 min Yellow, 10+ min Red. Higher change out times could indicate a need for more training.

Maintenance Status: Displays maintenance activities to be completed and items out for repair. Wash shows the amount of due or overdue batteries needing wash. Green, Yellow and Red dots advise the amount of batteries needing washed for the fleet. 0-5% Green, 5-10% Yellow, 10%+ Red. Use the Wash Battery Operation to view and wash batteries.
