Hi All

I've been trying to get informatin from my windows mobile 6 application, but hasn't worked to my satisfaction.
For the battery status, all I could get was intervals in which the battery falls (very low, low, medium, high, very high).
This is not very useful, as I want to know the exact percentage (the same as when you check the battery level on the mobile itself).
Is this at all possible?
The code I have been using is:

SystemState.PowerBatteryStrength

and

SystemState.PowerBatteryState

Thanks for the assistance in advance! :thumbsup:

It's easily done. I put an article here on CodeProject.com a few years about that. It also seems to be the #1 search result for "Windows Mobile Power Management" in any search engine. You can find it here: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/windows/WiMoPower1.aspx

Hi There

Thanks for the response and suggestion.
I found the link very useful.
All that is left is to filter out the code to get just what is needed, hopefully that won't be too much of a problem.

Thanks Again! :thumbsup:
