BatteryMon PM007 |
Status |
Indicates the current status of this particular battery. e.g., "Charging", "Discharging", "Not in use". |
Manufacturer |
The name of the company that manufactures the battery pack. |
Device Name |
This is usually the model number of the battery pack, as defined by the manufacturer. |
Serial Number |
The serial number of the device as defined by the manufacturer. |
Unique ID |
An identification string, which is unique across all battery packs. |
Time remaining |
A rough estimate of how much time remains before the battery is fully discharged |
Battery Temperature |
The temperature inside the battery pack. |
Date of manufacture |
The date when the battery was manufactured. |
Type of use |
Indicates if the batteries normal use is to provide power for normal operations or if the battery is a fail safe / backup device. (Laptop battery or UPS) |
Rechargeable |
Indicates if the battery is rechargeable or not. |
Chemistry |
The type of battery. Typical values are: Lead Acid, Lithium Ion, Nickel Cadmium, Nickel Metal Hydride, Nickel Zinc, Rechargeable Alkaline-Manganese. |
Design capacity |
The theoretical capacity of the battery when new. Measured in milliwatts hours (mWh) for most batteries. |
Full charge capacity |
The battery's current fully charged capacity. In some batteries it is possible to compare this value to the designed capacity to estimate the battery's wear. |
Alert levels |
The manufacturer's suggestion of when a "Low" and "Warning" battery alert should occur. |
Bias |
Some batteries reserve a small charge that is biased out of the battery's Full Charge Capacity and Current Capacity values to show "0" as the critical battery level. Critical bias is analogous to setting a fuel gauge to show "empty" when there are several liters of fuel left. |
Charge cycles |
The count of the number of charge/discharge cycles the battery has experienced. This provides a means to determine the battery's wear. |
Voltage |
The current battery voltage in Volts across the battery terminals. |
Charge Rate |
The current rate of battery charge or discharge. For most batteries this value will be in mW. |
