M850/M860 USER MANUAL
CHARGING
Determining Battery State of
Charge
It is important to check battery charge levels before
storing a lantern and prior to deployment to ensure it
will be fully operational in the field.
The most accurate Battery Pack status reading is
obtained when the lantern has been in a dark
location and in Off mode for at least 24 hours.
Battery status (bAtt) is displayed as a menu item on
the lantern LED display and includes the following
two data points:
•
SoC: This value indicates the percent state-
of-charge of the battery in real-time. We
recommend that battery state-of-charge is
above 90% prior to deployment.
•
volt: This value indicates the real-time
voltage of the lantern. Note that the lantern
may ship with one of three battery packs
(60X, 96E or 200BC). Lantern voltages
varies depending on the battery pack
supplied.
