Lithium-ion battery indication
52RM30450
The segments in the lithium-ion battery
indicator (1) give an approximate indication
of the charge of the lithium-ion battery. The
number of segments that appear in the
indication increases or decreases with the
charge of the lithium-ion battery.
NOTE:
The indicator gives an approximate indica-
tion. The indication may be delayed or dif-
fer from the actual charge of the lithium-ion
battery under certain conditions, for exam-
ple, when the outside temperature is low.
Also, the minimum segment is 1 bar and
the bar will never be 0. Even when 1 bar is
shown, the battery level may be close to
be flat.
