The Limestone board is equipped with a BQ27x10 battery gas gauge. The Driver supports the registry settings listed below. The values listed are the default values which are used if a registry value is not found.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\BatteryExt] "lowLevel" = dword:19 ; % of capacity (for WinCE status only) "criticalLevel"= dword:5 ; % of capacity (for WinCE status only)
The following registry settings can be used to disable the power status icon and the low-battery warning dialogs:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Power] "ShowIcon" = dword:0 "ShowWarnings"= dword:0
If the value of ShowWarnings is set to zero then no power warnings are displayed.
The default values are fine for the Kokam battery used for Limestone.
