Smart Batt1, Smart Batt2
Clear Temp Maxs
This command is useful only when the WPM Battery Batts view is selected.
The Clear Temp Maxs command clears the maximum values of Batt Temp (SMBus) and
Batt Temp (PMC).
Note: Power temp and CPU temp maxs are not cleared.
These menus give additional battery information via SMBus. Batt1 stands for Battery A, Batt2
for Battery B. If Smart Battx is selected for the battery connected to the SMBus, the menu
contains the following:
Smart Batt1
Battx information from SMBus
(this information is received from the
battery via SMBus)
Temperature: Battery temperature
Voltage : Battery voltage
Current : Battery current (discharge or
charge)
Avg. Current: Rolling average of the
battery current
Rel. State of Charge: Relative state of
charge of the battery. Expressed as a
percentage of Rem. Cap. (mAh) / Full
Cap.(mAh).
Abs. State of Charge: Absolute state of
charge. Expressed as a percentage of Rem.
Cap. (mAh)/ Design Capacity (mAh).
Remaining Capacity: Remaining battery
capacity (mAh).
Full Charge Capacity: Capacity of the
battery when it is fully charged.
Cycle Count: Number of cycles the battery
has experienced. A cycle is an amount of discharge approximately equal to the value of Design Capacity.
The exact value of cycle count threshold is stored in the battery permanent memory.
Design Capacity: Theoretical capacity of a new battery.
Design Voltage: Theoretical value for nominal voltage of a new battery.
Manufacture Date (DD:MM:YY) : The date the battery pack was manufactured.
Manufacturer Name : Acronym of the battery pack manufacturer name.
Device Name: Battery pack model name.
Device Chemistry: Battery chemistry of the cells used.
Therm. Status from charger: Status of the battery thermistor or code resistor read by Smart Battery
Charger IC. The thermistor or code resistor is always connected to the charger whenever the
corresponding battery is connected to the charger and SMBus.
