Battery Packs

Interpreting Charge Displays

Most charge displays report battery status in both percent and time.

The percent indicates the amount of charge remaining in the battery pack.

The time indicates the approximate running time remaining on the battery pack if the battery pack continues to provide power at the current level. For example, the time remaining will decrease if you start playing a DVD and will increase if you stop playing a DVD.

Most charge displays identify battery packs by location.

Location 1 is the battery bay.

Location 2 is the MultiBay.

In some displays, a lightening bolt icon may be displayed beside a battery pack location. The icon indicates that the battery pack in that location is charging.
