Introduction

Battery Monitor Utility is battery monitor software for retrieving & auto-saving the battery information.
It could also protect the battery from overheating by the preset threshold value.

The Sample code source and Spec File you can download from

Binary file:

<Google Drive> Battery_Monitor_Utilityv3.0.2.5L_Bin

<FTP> Battery_Monitor_Utilityv3.0.2.5L_Bin

How to use Battery Monitor Utility

Open the terminal and execute Battery_Monitor_Utility

Battery Monitor Utility main page

Image:BatteryL_picture1.jpg

When start utility, it will show simple information about all batteries on the main page.
If you want to watch detail message about individual battery, you can press the buttons on the left panel.

About page items detail is below.

  • 1-1. Press button to show simple information about all batteries.
  • 1-2. Press button to show detail information about battery one.

  • 1-11.Battery Status for Charge or Discharge.
  • 1-12.Battery Status for Remaining capacity percent.
  • 1-13.Battery remaining life time.
  • 1-14.Battery Temperature.
  • 1-15.Battery Current.
  • 1-16.Battery Voltage.
  • 1-17.Press button to shut dowe battery.
  • 1-18.Battery one simple information.

Detail information about individual battery

Image:BatteryL_picture3.jpg

Press the "Battery 1" or "Battery 2" Button. Show battery information and detail about warn status.

  • 2-1.Detail about warn status. If features is not active, led is 'grey'. If warn status is normal, led is 'green'. Otherwise is 'red'.
  • 2-2.Status: Over temperature. If temperature of battery is under 'Over temperature threshold', led is 'green'. Otherwise is 'red'.
  • 2-3.Status: Under temperature. If temperature of battery is higher 'Under temperature threshold', led is 'green'. Otherwise is 'red'.
  • 2-4.Status: Low battery capacity. If capacity of battery is higher 'Low battery capacity threshold', led is 'green'. Otherwise is 'red'.
  • 2-5.Status: External power removed. If external power removed from device, led is 'red'. Otherwise is 'green'.
