Abstract:
1. An electronic apparatus having a remaining-battery-power-indicating function, said apparatus comprising: main body having a multiplicity of display units; and battery assembly for supplying power to said main body, said battery assembly including a battery cell and control means for allowing generating information on a discharge current from the battery cell and transmitting to said main body the information thus generated, wherein said main body further includes remaining-battery-power-information-generating means for generating remaining battery power information by calculating estimated amounts of remaining battery times of said battery assembly relative to a current remaining battery capacity for all display modes of the display units; and wherein the display units (a) display in a first display area, numerically and in a bar chart, a current percent of remaining battery power, (b) numerically display in a second display area the estimated amounts of remaining battery times, thus calculated thereon as the remaining battery power information, simultaneously for each of the display modes and (c) display in a third display area in a composite colored bar chart, the estimated amounts of remaining battery times simultaneously for each of the display modes.
