Meanwhile, As there is the data transmission agreement port between PV-GS2 camcorder battery and laptop, it takes 2-3 charge and discharge cycles before the batterys actual capacity percentage is in sync with the percentage displayed by laptop. Cycling approach: Put the PV-GS2 battery into laptop and charge/discharge it until the laptop shutting down. Then charge the battery again. Charge time must exceed 12 hours. Repeat three times.
