Battery
Battery Capacity
Gauge
The battery capacity gauge or bar graph indicates the battery charge
capacity. The gauge is drawn as a vertical, rectangular outline which is
filled in from bottom to top proportional with the battery charge level.
The full rated capacity of the type of battery installed will be represented
on the gauge by a dashed outline. The maximum charge level for the cell
currently installed in the monitor is represented by a solid outline on the
gauge. As the battery ages-and its charging capacity becomes diminished-
this line becomes a smaller percentage of the full rated capacity shown by
the solid line. Refer to the following examples:
New battery,
fully charged
New battery,
approximately
60% charged
Old battery,
fully charged
Old battery, charged
to approximately
75% of its current
capacity (less than
half of its new capacity)
