-Windows detects device as “Battery”, no special drivers required ** 
 
*MotherBoard ON/OFF control: The device is able to send ON/OFF 'pulse signals' to 
motherboard based on coulomb counter and/or battery voltage level, or based on input voltage 
level or when starting. 
 
**Windows “no driver support”: Installs itself as a battery in Windows, using the Windows hid 
driver without any driver installation, visible as an icon in tray bar.
