    Emag battery charge indicator

    I tried a search but came up short.
    Is there anything on the Emag display that tells you the remaining juice left on the battery?
    I have had mine for a few weeks and i charge the battery on the way to the field but i have not yet seen a green light. I would just like to know if i am at 10% or 99%, right now all i know is less than 100%.

    Thanks in advance...

    If your battery charger is not giving you a green light after about an hour or two of charging, then you need to make sure all the connections are plugged in all the way and that you're sticking the field strip screw through the hole in the charger to hold the battery pack in place. You should get a red light on the charger and a red light on the cigarette plug in piece. The light will change to green on the charger, not the plug in.

      I know that i am charging correctly, however i have not charged the battery more than about 30 minutes (length of drive to field). I was just curious about an indicator on the gun. If one does not exist it is not serious enought to change my opinion of the gun, i was just curious.

        There is no display on the gun to indicate voltage, you'll need a multi-meter to check it.

        Leave the charger on overnight, it won't drain the car battery enough to not start, I've left mine on at work for 11 hours. 30 minutes is not long enough to get any sort of lasting charge.

            Technically leaving it on overnight shouldn't hurt anything, but I know of battery packs that go dead from people leaving them on overnight. Just leave put it in your car a few hours before you go to the field and it should be fine.

              Can you post a pic of what the charger with the pin looks like so I can show my buddy. He just got a used Emag sans charger so we need to get him stuff...but he need to be shown everything related to the Emag.
