GetBatteryVoltage

Availability

All terminals

Description

Returns the output voltage level of the battery pack in millivolts.

Syntax

unsigned int GetBatteryVoltage( void );

Arguments

None

Returns

The output voltage level of the battery pack in millivolts.

Remarks

The relation between the battery pack output voltage level and the remaining battery capacity depends on the type of batteries and on the charging and discharging history. It is difficult if not impossible to determine the remaining battery capacity from the battery voltage precisely.

Example

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "lib.h"

void main( void )
{
    unsigned int voltage;

    printf("\nBattery voltage:");

    for(;;)
    {
        voltage = GetBatteryVoltage();
        printf("\r%dmV", voltage);
        Sound(TCLICK, VMEDIUM, SHIGH, 0);
        Delay(5*50);
    }
}
