A multi-LED battery charge indicator, or “fuel gauge”, is built into each battery, as illustrated in
Figure 26. Each LED array consists of 5 LEDs and each LED represents 20% of the total
charge of the battery as follows:
LED #5 - 81-100% (far right LED)
LED #4 - 61-80%
LED #3 - 41-60%
LED #2 - 21-40%
LED #1 - 03-20% (far left LED)
The fuel gauge indicators are not visible when the battery is installed. Press the
Fuel Gauge
button to activate the fuel gauge LEDs and check the current charge level.
