BATTERY_STATUS structure

  • Article

The BATTERY_STATUS structure is used by battery miniclass drivers to return status information in response to a call to BatteryMiniQueryStatus.

Syntax

typedef struct _BATTERY_STATUS {
  ULONG PowerState;
  ULONG Capacity;
  ULONG Voltage;
  LONG  Rate;
} BATTERY_STATUS, *PBATTERY_STATUS;

Members

  • PowerState
    Specifies a battery power state as one or more of the following flags, ORed together: BATTERY_POWER_ON_LINE, BATTERY_DISCHARGING, BATTERY_CHARGING, and BATTERY_CRITICAL.

  • Capacity
    Specifies the capacity of the given battery, in milliwatt-hours, or BATTERY_UNKNOWN_CAPACITY if the capacity cannot be determined.

  • Voltage
    Specifies the voltage, in millivolts, across the terminals of the given battery, or BATTERY_UNKNOWN_VOLTAGE if the voltage cannot be determined.

  • Rate
    Specifies the current rate of battery usage in milliwatts or, if the driver reports relative capacity, in units per hour. A positive value means that the battery is charging; a negative value means the battery is discharging. If the driver cannot determine the rate, it should return BATTERY_UNKNOWN_RATE.
