resume when battery temperature increases.
Warm
Battery charging to less than full capacity (not less than 75%) because of
elevated temperature. The amber LED will illuminate when charging has
stopped.
Hot
Charging stopped because battery temperature is too hot.
Battery Health
This displays the health of a selected battery as a percentage of the charge capacity
of a new battery. Charge capacity (battery life when fully charged) will decline as a
result of repeated charge cycles, age, or storage conditions.
Cycle Count

discharge and charge. Recharging after discharging half way counts as one half of
a cycle. Recharging after discharging a quarter of the way counts as one quarter of
