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.
