Anton/Bauer DIONIC 90 - Manual (Page 10)

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 DIONIC 90 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.
