Figure 5: Battery status indicator
State of charge
The state of charge indicates graphically how much charge is
remaining in the battery. The battery continuously monitors
the current consumption of the transceiver and calculates the
remaining hours of use assuming a Tx to Rx ratio of 1:9.
State of health
Rechargeable batteries have a limited lifetime and a limited
number of times that they may be charged and discharged.
Over time, the total amount of charge that a battery may hold
decreases. The state of health indicates graphically how much
charge a battery can still hold, relative to when it was new.
A low state of health indicates that the battery may need
replacing.
