Capacity, Remaining tells you how much power is left in each battery.
Capacity, Full Charge tells you how much power each battery can hold when fully charged.
Time To Empty tells you approximately how long you can continue to use the monitor with these
batteries. Note that this time fluctuates depending on the system load (the display brightness and how

Time To Full is shown in place of Time To Empty if the monitor is connected to mains
