Pro 4 XL two batteries read 97%

[ekclymer]

Installed a set of three Pro 4 XL cameras in February. They seem to be operating fine, but I have a concern about 2 of the 3 batteries. After charging them yesterday, one battery read 100% immediately after being installed in the camera, but the other two read only 97%. This may seem trivial, but the cameras are at a property that will be uninhabited for weeks/months at a time and is far away from home, so I'm wanting maximum capacity from the batteries. Any explanation why the two batteries didn't read 100% right out of the charger (yes, the light on the charger had turned green)? Is there a potential defect?

The charge percentage you see is just an estimate (and that is the case for all battery powered devices). It's based on measurements of the battery voltage and perhaps the current draw.

You'll need to run them for quite a bit longer to get a good estimate on how long they will run between charges.
