Residual battery capacity is calculated in an electronic apparatus having an ultrasonic motor driven by a battery based on the revolution speed of the ultrasonic motor. This permits residual capacity to be calculated extremely close to actual battery life with a simplified circuit structure. An electronic watch having an ultrasonic motor as a driving source of a calendar display mechanism is provided with a residual battery capacity display device having a revolution speed detector for detecting a revolution speed of the ultrasonic motor, a memory for storing comparison representing a relationship between detected revolution speed and battery life, and a CPU for determining residual battery life based on the detected revolution speed and the comparison data. An alarm is generated when the battery life is over.
An electronic apparatus having an ultrasonic motor as a driving source for driving a load, a battery for driving the ultrasonic motor, and a battery residual capacity display device for displaying a residual capacity of the battery, wherein the battery residual capacity display device comprises:
An electronic watch having an ultrasonic motor as a driving source for driving a calendar display mechanism, a battery for driving the ultrasonic motor, and a battery residual capacity display device for displaying a residual capacity of the battery, wherein the battery residual capacity display device comprises:
An electronic timepiece comprising:
