Hi Joseph, Thanks so much for your help. First off, the A command says that the gauge is not accurate and the error is plus or minus 100%. The C gives "Nominal available charge =557
D gives "last measured discharge 1807 and capacity 1800. It has been discharging for two or three hours. The d value would suggest that the gauge is really not wrong, but I don't know. Any thoughts? Should I unplug and let it discharge to critical? Thanks! Rusty On 12/31/06, Joseph Lee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Rusty, This switch will save the recalibration log onto the KeySoft System Disk, and this is not a wise option to use. The best command to use is f or r switch (f swithitch will save the log onto the Flash Disk, and r is the normal recalibration). Xy Riden once wrote that if the gauge thinks that it is inaccurate, then it will attempt to recalibrate many times to correct this error. Here are a number of things you should check: Stop the recalibration process, and do the following: 1. At the Support Info Mode, press a. If it says that the error amount is greater than 2%, then something is wrong with the gauge. 2. Press c and d. The c value should be synchronized with d value (bare in mind that it might be lower, due to the fact that the BN was discharging while performing the battery test). If the d value is greater than 2000 (on an 1800 battery) or 1750 (on 1650 battery), then the gauge is truly inaccurate, and you should perform the recalibration from scratch using either f or r switch. The best option would be running your battery all the way down until you see battery critical message, which at that point, will update the gauge properly.
