Rechargeable Battery Pack And Battery Charger - e2v argus Operating And Maintenance Instructions Manual

3. RECHARGEABLE BATTERY PACK AND CHARGER
3.1 Rechargeable Battery Pack
®
The Argus F-Type camera is supplied with two rechargeable battery packs. The
rechargeable packs are designed to power an Argus
charge and use Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) cells. The battery pack contains
circuitry that monitors the cell's temperature to ensure that maximum performance
is provided and that correct charging is performed. The pack also has a recoverable
short-circuit protection.
The battery pack provides an output to the 'battery status Indicator' on the camera
display. This battery status indicator provides a continuous colour display of the
remaining charge, allowing the user to avoid unpredicted power loss.
Battery Indicator
With a new, fully charged battery, the battery indicator will
show full with a solid green bar.
The full length of the battery indicator represents 4 hours of
normal use, so a new good condition battery will show 'full'
(solid green bar) for some time, as it will run for a little over
4 hours.
When using transmitter accessories the solid coloured bar
will drop faster as they consume more power.
The solid coloured bar will progressively decrease as the
battery capacity is consumed. When the bar has reached a
quarter full, its colour will turn orange and there is
approximately one (1) hour of battery life remaining.
As the battery capacity is consumed further, the bar will
turn red and there is approximately 30 minutes of battery
life remaining.
When the battery capacity has been consumed, the battery
status bar border will turn red and flash to alert the
operator. The time remaining will typically be 10 minutes.
