Interpreting Charge Indicators

Most charge indicators report battery status as both a percentage
and as the number of minutes of charge remaining:
■
The percentage indicates the approximate amount of charge
remaining in the battery pack.
■
The time indicates the approximate running time remaining
on the battery pack if the battery pack continues to provide
power at the current level. For example, the time remaining
will decrease when you start playing a DVD and will increase
when you stop playing a DVD.
■
When a battery pack is charging, a lightning bolt icon may be
superimposed over the battery icon on the Power Meter
screen.
