NOTE
It is important to note that the battery indicator is an indication of the battery’s
relative state of charge and is independent of the 1 hour run time expressed
by the color of the battery indicator. As the life of the battery ends, the
charge capacity of the battery gradually reduces to the point that the battery
indicator shows 100% SOC, but is colored amber indicating less than 1
hour run time. If this condition is observed, then the battery is worn out and
requires replacement.
Table 4-2: Battery Indications
