Warning Signals2. Until they are used, keep the batteries in thermal packaging (ideallyin the supplied system case) in a weatherproof place (e.g. yourvehicle).10.4 Battery OperationThe battery charge is constantly monitored independently of the operatingsystem. The replaceable battery of the colibri X5 is a so-called intelligentbattery: Each unit has its own electronic system, including a microcontrollerwhich communicates digitally with the tablet PC.The complete circuit is called a battery management circuit or gas gaugeand is located next to the actual cells together with the battery protectioncircuit which is mandatory for each Li-Ion system. Therefore the battery is alittle "crooked".The battery management is always supplied with power by the battery.However, the power consumption is very low and thus negligible in practice.The battery management constantly measures the power flowing into or outof the battery and, using various parameters (e.g. temperature), calculates inAh (ampere x hours = ampere-hours) the effective available battery capacityat the time of polling. The value is accurate to within a few percent, especiallyas the system "corrects itself", so to speak.As mentioned before, the battery management in the battery communicateswith the tablet PC. Once you switch on the colibri X5, its "system controller"starts the cyclic polling of the gas gauge of the battery in use.4To check the charge state of the battery (when the system isrunning):Press the button with the battery symbol (battery test button). Thebattery charge state is displayed via 5 red LEDs in increments of 20%.microport colibri X5 53
