[. . . ] LC display shown on the example of the BA 5000-1 battery pack 6-step LC display for (remaining) battery pack capacity. Microprocessor-controlled electronics takes self-discharge of rechargeable cells into account The maximum capacity of is reduced due to natural ageing of the cells. The BA 5000-1 battery pack measures the maximum capacity and therefore displays less than 100 % capacity for older cells ­ even when they have been fully charged.
