The value is zero if the battery is not being charged and the battery capacity is between low and high.

The percentage of full battery charge remaining. This member can be a value in the range 0 to 100, or 255 if status is unknown.
- Reserved1
Reserved; must be zero.
- BatteryLifeTime
The number of seconds of battery life remaining, or –1 if remaining seconds are unknown.
- BatteryFullLifeTime
The number of seconds of battery life when at full charge, or –1 if full battery lifetime is unknown.
Remarks
The system is only capable of estimating BatteryFullLifeTime based on calculations on BatteryLifeTime and BatteryLifePercent. Without smart battery subsystems, this value may not be accurate enough to be useful.
