3-1-4 Checking the Remaining Battery Capacity

Check the remaining battery capacity in the status indication panel.

When the battery pack is fully charged (supply voltage at least 13 V for the BP-90A or 16 V for the BP-L60), all seven display segments appear.

The relation between the number of displayed segments and the battery pack voltage is shown in the following figure.

BATT EF

13.0 V and above 12.5 to 13.0 V 12.0 to 12.5 V 11.75 to 12.0 V 11.5 to 11.75 V 11.25 to 11.5 V 11.0 to 11.25 V

Display segments and battery pack voltage (Using BP-90A or external power supply)

BATT EF

16.0 V and above 14.5 to 16.0 V 13.0 to 14.5 V 12.5 to 13.0 V 12.0 to 12.5 V 11.5 to 12.0 V 11.0 to 11.5 V

Display segments and battery pack voltage (Using BP-L60)

As the battery capacity is used up, the segments disappear in turn from the right.

When the battery pack is almost exhausted, the leftmost segment and the “BATT” and “E” indications flash, and simultaneously the WARNING indicator flashes, accompanied by an intermittent warning tone. When the battery pack is completely exhausted, the WARNING indicator stays on, and the warning tone becomes continuous.
