VABattery
---------

VABattery is designed to show the battery level on
laptop computers. The current power level in the
battery is shown on the iconbar.

In addition VABattery also shows the current charge
status:

Red Arrow pointing down : Battery being discharged
Green Arrow pointing up : Battery being charged
Black line              : Battery fully charged

You can also obtain an exact reading of the current
battery level using RISC OS Interactive Help or by
clicking SELECT over the Battery icon to open the
battery status window.

You can also toggle the status of the battery icon on the
iconbar by clicking ADJUST on it. The three types of
display are:

1. Charge Status
2, Battery power level in %
3. Time remaining (not supported on all hardware - if this is
   not supported the icon will show a question mark) and then flip
   ba to the charge status icon

VBattery also has two options to provide warnings at
25% remaing power and 10% remaining power. You can toggle
these warnings on and off and save their status, as well
as the type of icon bar icon displayed by clicking
on the OK button in the battery status window.

You can also specify the gap between VABattery reading the
battery level in minutes, normally this should be set to between
1 and 5 minutes. The minium number of minutes is 1, the maximum is 60.
