The gas gauge reads “full,” but the indicator light is still On
• If you charge your battery daily, rely on the gas gauge reading to determine battery capacity. The charge mode
may have switched from Fast to Slow because the battery became too hot. The charging process is trying to
put a little more capacity into the battery; however, external power can be removed because the battery is
virtually full.
• If your battery is new or has not been used for several weeks, rely on the indicator light to determine when the
battery is fully charged. The gas gauge is unreliable in these cases; it may read 100 percent, but the actual
capacity is only 10 percent.
My battery seems to have less and less capacity
• To keep your battery at optimum performance, perform a deep cycle discharge every 2-1/2 to 3 months using
the Battery Maintenance application.
• If your battery is new or has not been used for several weeks, calibrate it once.
