Why does the battery display sometime switch from percent to voltage?
ALEXA can actively communicate with some on-board batteries (currently Anton Bauer and IDX) in order to display the battery capacity, which is a more accurate indication of remaining battery life than the default voltage indication. However, as long as a heavy accessory power load is applied to the camera, ALEXA can only display voltage, not capacity. As soon as the load is reduced, the indication will show capacity again. This issue only influences how the battery strength is displayed and has no influence on any other camera functions. Please note that when the battery strength is displayed by voltage, the camera will display the battery low warning based on the battery low warning limit set in the camera menu, and not based on the battery capacity as communicated by the battery.
