STATUS to check the status of the battery.
• BATTERY CONNECTED (BATTERY DETECTED): YES / NO.
o SkyView automatically sets this to yes when a battery is installed.
• LAST BATTERY SHUTDOWN:
o NORMAL.
o ABNORMAL: The last shutdown of SkyView did not happen normally.
o WEAK BATTERY: SkyView detected a low battery voltage condition when
SkyView was last shut down. The battery may be discharged or may need

o If this date is over a year ago, SkyView will annunciate BATTERY TEST
NEEDED upon startup. Follow the steps in Initial SV-BAT-320 Test below.
• TEST RESULT:
o FAIL: VOLTAGE DROP TOO HIGH: Battery likely needs to be replaced.
Contact Dynon Avionics Technical Support (contact information at the

BATTERY.
An SV-BAT-320 is fully charged when it reaches 12.25 volts. Charging a
completely discharged battery may take up to 4 hours. To conserve your
aircraft battery, the SV-BAT-320 only charges when SkyView detects that
your alternator or generator is running (whenever your engine is running),
which is when SkyView’s input voltage is above 12.25V. Alternatively,
connecting a battery charger to your aircraft battery will also raise the input
voltage to a level that will allow SkyView’s SV-BAT-320 to charge.
