- CHECKING BATTERIES
-
- One of the nicer functions of the Battery Checker is to check your battery
- strength by putting a load on the battery, and watching it to see if it holds
- up. This is the same way a battery in a car is checked. However, in order to
- put a load on your S3a battery, the best way is to copy files over a 3Link.
- Set some files to copy, and jump back into the Battery Checker. If you see
- the main batteries jump down into the "Very Low" area, these batteries are
- probably no good. If it jumps down into "Low", you may have a few hours left
- on your batteries, unless they are nicads, in which case they may die any
- minute. Of course, you have to experiment with your own batteries.
-
- Battery Checker 1.2 will now show the condition of RAM SSD batteries, if and
- only if they are the newer style RAM SSD's. Older RAM SSD's don't have the
- necessary hardware to report battery levels. By default, Battery Checker shows
- you both SSD Slots. You will see the SSD type on the bottom of the icon for
- each SSD, labeled "A" and "B". Types being "FLASH" , or "RAM".

- ────────────
