If the SIDE BARS (only) flash AND other icons are lit and not flashing,
this indicates the battery has requested to be fully charged and discharged
in order to update its “learned capacity”. This “learning” should typically
occur during normal equipment operation. However, if the battery has not
been fully charged and discharged for some time, this indication will
appear.
To remove the flashing SIDE BARS, fully charge the battery (STEADY
GREEN indication) on the InterActive 2000 charger. Then either:
(a) Discharge the battery on a camera in normal operation
continuing to keep the camera “hot” until it shuts down. Then
return the battery to the charger. When the battery is full remove
it from the charger.
(b) This can be done automatically with an InterActive2000
PowerCharger with a DDM (Diagnostic Discharge Module,
installed. This unique feature is called “AUTOCAL” and is
included as standard on QUAD 2702 and DUAL 2722
PowerChargers. (Please reference the appropriate PowerCharger
Owner’s Manual.)
IMPORTANT NOTE: The flashing SIDE BARS indication is not
a
warning indication. The battery will operate perfectly normal while
awaiting a “learning” cycle. Rather than relying on an “assumed” capacity,
as with some imitation fuel gauges, the HyTRON battery relies on the
Digital Battery electronics to update capacity information as the battery
sees different operating conditions and ages normally. The flashing bars
are merely an indication that the battery has not updated this information
for some time and is requesting a confirmation of its “learned” capacity.
