| 184896 | 2003-10-20 08:18:00 | Lithium ion batteries seem to be made of the right stuff to survive the constant charging, and have no 'memory effect'. To keep them healthy it's recommended that you run on battery once a month, and run it right down. | Shortstop (632) | ||
| 184897 | 2003-10-20 08:28:00 | > what does a state of charge mean? It means the state (condition) of the batterys charge (capacity, amount of charge left, flatness, etc) The tray indicator estimates the charge based on input vs output and self discharge etc The on-battery one does it by more accurately sampling the battery voltage. If the battery has been out for a while, or the battery has a non typical self-discharge rate, the tray indicator will get a bit confused until its sure the battery has been connected long enough to have a full charge. |
