Monitoring the Charge in a
Battery Pack
This section explains several ways you can determine the amount
of charge in your battery pack.

Obtaining Accurate Charge Information

To increase the accuracy of all battery charge displays:
Allow a battery pack to discharge to about 10 percent of a full
charge through normal use before charging it. See
Charge Information"
When you charge a battery pack, charge it fully.
If a battery pack has not been used for 1 month or more,
calibrate the battery pack instead of simply charging it. For
calibration instructions, refer to
