People, OK, here's what option C gives me on my bnb MPower 32 running ks 7.2 build 47. Nominal available charge: 1359 Option d gives me: Last measured discharge: 1359 Designed capacity: 1800 DO I need to recalibrate? I was getting the battery recalibration recommended message for about 3 days, then the bn just up and died last two nights ago, and yesterday morning I plugged it in and the battery recalibration recommended message went away. I hit option a from support information mode, witch used to give me battery recalibration recommended: error plus or minus 5 percent. Option A now gives me, without using the recalibration methods in support information mode: gauge is accurate, plus or minus 2%. Ideas folks? shane -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joseph Lee Sent: Thursday, January 04, 2007 11:49 PM To: Braillenote List Subject: re: [Braillenote] Battery Conditioning Recommended
Kevin, Check the following from Support Info Mode: c value: when it is fully charged, it should match d value. d value: if the value displays that it is significantly higher than the designed capacity, then it is time for recalibration. How long it has been since you've last recalibrated your battery? Here's the factor: If the designed capacity is 1800 and if your battery capacity is 2000 or greater, then it is time for recalilration (anything above 1800 means that it is time for recalibration). If the designed capacity is 1650 and the battery capacity is 1750 (anything greater than 1650), then it is time for recalibration. Try recalibrating your battery (using any method you like, such as manual or using Support Info Mode commands such as f, g, or r).

Also when I press space with o to get into options, then space with i to get into support information mode, then a to get the accuracy of the gauge; I get the message "battery conditioning recommended, error plus or minus 5%." I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations of what I should do. If it is a recalibration of the battery, which should be performed. >Kevin >___ >To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to >[EMAIL PROTECTED] >To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit >http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/br aillenote ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote
