How to check the state of charge
Out from the box, the internal battery of MVQUICKAB has a state of
charge of about 50% or higher.
To verify the state of charge:
-
When the external battery is installed:
Press the “Check” button to verify the state. The LED will stay
on for about 3 sec showing the state (see table above). The
LEDs will flash when the internal battery is being charged.
- When the external battery is not installed:
The LEDs are automatically alighted continuously displaying
the state of charge. However, if 60 minutes elapse without an
installation of a new battery, MVQUICKAB enters in a low
power mode and automatically shuts off. Press the “Check”
button to wake up the device and verify the state (see later).
The prediction of the state of charge based on cell voltage may
appear inaccurate especially when the device is requesting a high
current load. Under similar circumstances, the internal voltage drop
may be large enough to switch off the first LED [H] and apparently
displays a state of charge below 66%. In similar cases the LED
gauge is programmed with a pessimistic capacity prediction, and the
state of charge seems to reduce faster, especially for the first and
even the second LED [H M]. In any case the flashing 3

represents a critical threshold after which the camera should be
switched off or alternatively, a fresh battery installed.
How to charge the internal battery
MVQUICKAB has an internal battery pack that can be charged in
three different ways:
- By using the 3A charger provided with MVQUICKAB. Just plug
in the charger's connector to the side of the MVQUICKAB and
follow the charging activity through the LEDs on the device.
(LED 1 to 3 in ascending order and off after charge)
- There is also a single bi-coloured LED on the charger to
provide charge status indication. It lights red during charge and
green before and after charge is complete.
- By installing MVQUICKAB on a 3-stud-compatible charging
device. The internal battery will be charged automatically. The
