Figure 11: 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. Additional
battery information may be viewed in the Battery entry in the Control List.
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.
NOTE
You will need to log in as administrator to see the Control List (see
page 110, Logging into admin level from user level).
NOTE
When charging a new battery it may show a low state of health until it has
been fully charged and discharged several times.
