Battery Packs
Interpreting Charge Displays
Most charge displays report battery status as both a percentage
and in the number of minutes of charge remaining.
■
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 when you start playing a DVD and will increase
when you stop playing a DVD.
Most charge displays identify battery packs by location.
■
Location 1 is the primary battery bay.
■
Location 2 is the MultiBay.
On 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.
