negative pressure value when the battery is full, and
Tips：
1, only NiMh battery can set the battery
the range can be set from 5mV to 20mV, as shown
below.
=================================
negative pressure value
2, vocabulary explanation:
PeakV: Peak voltage drop per piece when
NiMH battery is full
=================================
4，Battery Setting
