Battery Pack
The following shows statuses and levels available for the battery pack.
Normally the battery status is checked once every five seconds. Taking last immediate ten
data of the power voltage from AD converter, its average is calculated to classify the status
into three levels, either “Almost exhausted (10% of the capacity or less)”, “Low (30% of the
capacity or less)”, “O.K. (30 % of the capacity or more)”. When VDET1 occurs, the level is at
10% of the capacity.
