PVE400 USER’S GUIDE
3.5 Monitoring the battery status
The
BATTERY
tab provides the useful information about the battery status. The negative current value is
shown for discharging (normal operation) and positive during battery charging. The normal value is 1~2A,
depending on the transmitter power and streaming video status. When streaming video is not active, the power
for the camera is not supplied; so the overall power consumption will be reduced.
Figure 11. Battery status page
During the charging process, the start current will be positive 1.7A and slowly reduced till it becomes nearly 0,
when the battery is fully charged. The voltage of the fully charged battery will be 4.2V maximum. The device
will normally operate until the battery is discharged down to 3.0V and then shutdown.
The rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery rated with capacity 6.8Ah if discharged till 2.5V. It means that the useful
capacity is slightly less. The capacity counter will show an accurate value only if the battery has been fully
charged inside the PVE400 unit. If a new battery is installed, the capacity calculation will be done only based on
the voltage information (with 20% accuracy)

Warning
:
Li-ion battery has operating temperature range up to +60° C. When internal temperature reached
this limit, wireless transmitter will shut down, to prevent overheat. All three status LEDs will start
blinking until temperature drops to +55° C.
