[fwfdengine2]

Can you tell how much battery life you have left on the BC346XT?

Thanks

My rough guess is to push down on the volume knob, look at the number at the top right.

Thanks, i have noticed that. But, if it has 3.89... Does that mean 3 hours and 89 minutes?? Not sure how you get 89 minutes.

That means 3.89 volts. My 396XT will function down to ~3.5 volts.

so at 3.5 the batteries are done?

No, but I think they are getting close. I have never ran a set of batts. down completely.

 

[fwfdengine2]

Me either, i may have to take a different set of batteries and let the scanner go until it dies and see where the volts end up at. Thanks!

The number is actually a measurement of Gigawatts.
You really don't want to try to get it above 1.21 Gigawatts.
Not a pretty sight.

Do you mean under 1.21? It's always at 4.15 or so when turned on.

And what isn't so pretty?
