I was wondering how the LED battery strength lights (Green, red, red, red, yellow) on the new Varizoom battery pack are setup? I'm guessing that when all the LEDs are lit it means fully charged and as the battery strength decreases --- fewer and fewer LEDs are lit until only the yellow (or maybe none) are finally lit?

Is there a ballpark figure for how much strength is left with a particular LED light combination:

All LEDs lit (including green) --- 100%
Four LEDs lit (Three reds and the yellow) --- ?%
Three LEDS lit (Two reds and the yellow) --- ?%
Two LEDS lit (One red and the yellow) --- ?%
One LED lit (only the yellow) --- ?%

Maybe it is: 100%; 75%; 50%; 25%; 0% ????

At any rate, I really like the new, improved, compact battery and the way it is mounted. Very ergonomic...

Thanks!

VariZoom has a new site -- check it out
 

Howdy from Texas,

Our sponsor VariZoom Lens Controls has a brand new site, and compared to the old one it looks beautiful. Much better functionality and more pleasing aesthetically in my opinion. Take a look for yourself at www.varizoom.com
