## Class Properties

### Local Class Properties

Name | Data Type | Default Value | Qualifiers
--- | --- | --- | ---
Name | Data Type | Value
BatteryStatus | uint16 |
Description | string | Description of the charge status of the Battery. Values such as "Fully Charged" (value=3) or "Partially Charged" (value=11) can be specified. The value, 10, is not valid in the CIM Schema because in DMI it represents that no battery is installed. In this case, this object should not be instantiated. The valuemaps: 6(Charging), 7(Charging and High), 8(Charging and Low), and 9(Charing and Critical) has been deprecated in lieu of the ChargingStatus property. 10(Undefined) has been deprecated in lieu of 2(Unknown).

ChargingStatus | uint16 |
Description | string | ChargingStatus indicates whether the battery is charging. Charging - the battery is charging. Discharging - the battery is discharging. Idle - the batter is neither charging nor discharging.
ValueMap | string | 0, 2, 3, 4, .., 32768..65535
Values | string | Unknown, Charging, Discharging, Idle, DMTF Reserved, Vendor Specified

PUnit | string | volt * 10^-3
Units | string | MilliVolts
EstimatedChargeRemaining | uint16 |
Description | string | An estimate of the percentage of full charge remaining.
Gauge | boolean | true
PUnit | string | percent
Units | string | Percent
EstimatedRunTime | uint32 |
Description | string | EstimatedRunTime is an estimate in minutes of the time that battery charge depletion will occur under the present load conditions if the utility power is off, or is lost and remains off, or a Laptop is disconnected from a power source.
MappingStrings | string | MIF.DMTF|Portable Battery|003.15
PUnit | string | minute
Units | string | Minutes
ExpectedLife | uint32 |
Description | string | Indicates the expected lifetime of the Battery in minutes, assuming that the Battery is fully charged. This property represents the total expected life of the Battery, not its current remaining life, which is indicated by the EstimatedRunTime property.
PUnit | string | minute
Units | string | Minutes
FullChargeCapacity | uint32 |
Description | string | The full charge capacity of the battery in mWatt-hours. Comparison of this value to the Battery DesignCapacity determines when the Battery requires replacement. The end of life of a Battery is typically when the FullCharge Capacity falls below 80% of the DesignCapacity. If this property is not supported, enter 0.
MappingStrings | string | MIF.DMTF|Portable Battery|003.11
PUnit | string | watt * hour * 10^-3
Units | string | MilliWattHours
HealthPercent | uint8 |
Description | string | An estimate of the percentage of the overall battery health. It indicates how much the battery has deteriorated over time. It can take values 0 to 100; 255 if it is unknown.
PUnit | string | percent
Units | string | Percentage
MaxRechargeCount | uint32 |
Description | string | The maximum number of times the Battery can be recharged.
MaxRechargeTime | uint32 |
Description | string | MaxRechargeTime indicates the maximum time, in minutes, to fully charge the Battery. This property represents the time to recharge a fully depleted Battery, not the current remaining charging time, which is indicated in the TimeToFullCharge property.
PUnit | string | minute
Units | string | Minutes
OtherChemistryDescription | string |
Description | string | The description of the battery chemistry when the Chemistry property has value 1 (Other). The property shall be implemented if the Chemistry property has value 1(Other).
PermanentErrorInfo | uint16 |
Description | string | An enumeration that describes the error information in the event of permanent failure of the battery. This code will enable system administrators to troubleshoot the reason behind failed batteries. Unknown value means a permanent error has occured but the error type is unknown.
Experimental | boolean | true
ValueMap | string | 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, .., 32768..65535
Values | string | Unknown, No Failure, Fuse Blown, Cell imbalance, Over voltage, FET inoperative, Communication error, Incompatible battery type, DMTF Reserved, Vendor Reserved
