CodeWarrior Lite uses an older version of the compiler and also comes
with an older SDK.
The problem is that SysBatteryInfo wants a Int16* (short *) but all your
variables are UInt16's (unsigned short). From the SDK docs, it looks
like everything you've written is OK, but looking at the actual 3.5 SDK
include file SystemMgr.h, the prototype has maxTicksP as a Int16
parameter.
I would assume this is a documentation bug, so just make your timeout
variable Int16, and you'll be happy.
