This program displays various information for the current battery type. The battery type can be changed so that the low battery warning is properly calibrated. The warning and critical voltage levels change depending on the battery type selected. "Default" refers to the factory default battery type. Setting the battery to the wrong type may result in loss of data. Use this feature with caution.
Not every Palm OS version supports the same battery types. The table below shows the supported removable battery types for a given Palm OS version.
