Battery Indicator

[kissmyglock]

Does everyone trusts their battery indicator or should put myself on a charge cycle or some thing like every 4-5 cases or something like that. My indicator still says its charge fully after 5 cases of paint.

yeah I've been intentionally draining my battery for 3 days now (and it's still kickin, except for the fast that the first 3 to 4 clicks are dead or dampened) and it still says MAX. Isn't that weird?

does anyone have any idea why it does that?

[MoogLe]

the battery indicator on my ir3 doesnt do its job too well either, one minute its full and the next its flatlined, i would like to know why this happens too

Well I know LED's take almost absolutely NO power to run.... They're very efficient. Plus the power to click the solenoid dosn't take much either, so it's understandable that the Speed's battery could very well last an extremely long time, but I haven't tested/tried to drain the battery yet so I'm not sure. As for you moogle, I dunno :-\.

What everyone forgets is that its a 4.x volt battery that's trying to fire a 6.x volt solenoid.

what does that have to do with anythign?

lolNess..... me confuso

[dooksdooks]

i thought the battery feeds a capacitor which releases MICRO volts to the solenoid?

YEA what he said
