battery (voltage) is less than nominal la tension de la pile est en-dessous de sa valeur nominale Explanation: The En is poorly expressed, inasmuch as it is of course the VOLTAGE of the battery that is 'less than nominal' I'm assuming this is some kind of backup battery for a computer memory, in which case 'pile' is appropriate, as they are usually primary cells (i.e. non-rechargeables) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 25 mins (2007-10-25 13:49:38 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Well, at least the non-native source does explain it a bit! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 days7 hrs (2007-10-27 20:52:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I have to confess, I really can't understand the objection Johannes is trying to raise here? All battery-powered equipment is designed to operate at a certain nominal battery voltage; sensibly, this will be slightly lower than the voltage to be expected from a brand new cell, since battery voltage drops gradually over lifetime. All the text is trying to say (albeit in a slightly short-hand, engineer-speak form) is that when the actual measured battery voltage falls below this nominal voltage, the 'battery low' warning LED is lit, to warn the user that the battery needs replacing. Where's the problem with all that? |
