Battery Indicator doesn't match display?
I noticed today the indicator lights on my battery show one extra bar than what is shown on the display (battery shows 4 bars, display shows 3 bars). It's a shimano setup. Is this norm? Do I need to do something to regulate the battery with the screen? Which is generally more accurate?

I haven't pressed the display on my batteries (I have several) in years. They didn't tell me much when new, three greenish LED's and one red LED. The display is a better indicator, in my opinion, but if yours only has three bars, that's really basic. I guess you want to be near home when you're down to one bar.

But nevermind it seems to have corrected itself during a long ride last night and they both match.
