you can set the battery type:
SysBatteryKind batt_type;
batt_type = ...;
SysBatteryInfo(TRUE, NULL, NULL, NULL, &batt_type, NULL, NULL);
(see SystemMgr.h)
typedef enum {
sysBatteryKindAlkaline=0,
sysBatteryKindNiCad,
sysBatteryKindLiIon,
sysBatteryKindRechAlk,
sysBatteryKindNiMH,
sysBatteryKindLiIon1400,
sysBatteryKindLast=0xFF // insert new battery types BEFORE this one
} SysBatteryKind;
so that Palm updates it's default warning levels to each kind of
battery.

Subject: SysBatteryInfo
Hi !
Does anybody have experiences with the SysBatteryInfo function ?
My application communicates via RS232 to a little machine and collects
data
from it. Because of the RS232 communication the battery state might
rapidly
fall and the user needs to know how long he can go on. I found the
SysBatteryInfo function but I have a few questions on it:
- does the function recognize the differences between normal batteries
and
rechargable batteries ?
- what about old rechargable batteries ? do they still give the right
values
to the function ?
- what about palms with internal lithium-ion-batteries ?
- what about the memory effect ?
=> are the returned function values correct - every time ?
Thanks for any help !
