7. Run-Time, Capacity & Data
7.1
The Battery Display:
The battery is able to display a numeric run-time prediction against
load, and charge status as a percentage.
When connected to a camera that is turned-on,
two presses of the battery’s display button will
show a predicted
run-time
against the given
load, expressed in hours and minutes. When
batteries are linked the run-time displayed
relates to the
total
for the connected
batteries.
A single button press of the display, off or
on-load, shows a percentage figure of
available capacity
. When the batteries are
linked this figure still relates to the battery’s
individual capacity.
When individual battery capacity drops below
5% the display will indicate that the battery
should be charged, as shown.
When the battery is fully charged the display
will indicate 100%.
