Does this accurately tell you if the batteries are low, or does it show them full all the time?

The camera will detected both batteries as one unit and will decrease the power level as normal on the batery display as the batteries are drained.

Good question. It does matter if grip power is on or not. It stays on. My cannon tells me when power is low. It takes a while for the batteries to empty. I think it was worth it.

Yes it does tell me when the batteries are low and is time to recharge them, it works perfect on my canon rebel 3ti...

It shows all the time because the battery is not actually recognized by the camera. It's a third party battery and does not have the "chip" in it that the camera would use to reveal battery percentage. You have to go on a guess as to how long the battery will last. I have gotten up to 2 hours of filming time on one of these.

Yes, you get a light signal when battery needs recharging and there is another light signal when it has finished charging. There is no "low battery" notice though. So its use it until the battery is done. Might be in the middle of a session.

There is no low battery indicator. Just keep extra batteries and put them in when the sound is distorted or stops.

No - I keep getting "low batteries" and the device will not take a reading. When I installed the new batteries, say issue. I've submitted a request to Withings to get their help

Sorry, I have no idea - I have had my unit for quite a long time and batteries seem to be fine still - I would assume it will not function at all if batteries are too low. Wish I could be of more help.

I've noticed that as well. But I only notice it when the batteries are getting low.

Sometimes when the batteries are low, it will act up. But; other than that I don't have any problem s with mine. It works well thus far.

The meter is faulty, mine shows full most of the time, when the batteries run out the meter shows its over half full. Return it and try a different brand.

Hi Ann there isn't a low battery indicator. I have mine set to feed 3 times a day and so far batteries have lasted 3 weeks.

I have 5 of these at my church. There is a low battery indicator but it has never come on because I replace the batteries every year.

Yes there is a low battery indicator, although you will only read about it in the booklet that comes with the clock, not in any advertisement from SkyScan.

No, the light just goes off when fully charged. You will get a full battery indication on the viewing screen when you turn on the camera.

When you're using AA batteries, and they run out...does it alert you with a message or icon?It must...but no one has mentioned in the reviews. Does it tell you LOW BATT at any point? Just don't want to be in middle of continuous shot and have the thing quit on me.Thanks,dix4@me.com

It does, except you can't count on the accuracy. One minute, it could show an hour left. But only to have it tell you the battery is about to run out. This battery is cheap for a reason. It does work but not to the extent advertised. Basically, you get what you pay for and that's just fine with me.

Does it still function properly? I think it may just mean your battery is low.

Yes it does. It shows the voltage from the panel(s) and also the voltage and amperage going to the batteries. As well as the State of Charge of the batteries. It's well worth the money.
