Battery Backup

Hi all,

I know about the function to retrieve the GetSystemPowerStatus() using pinvoke function to retrieve the status of the current battery level, as low, high, etc. In the same way the Compact framework provides a class to perform this operations called SystemState.PowerBatteryStrength.

Is there any way to query the Windows Mobile 5 to ask about if there any battery backup installed on the device using the pinvoke methodology, or even better using manage classes inside of the compact frameworkv 2.0

Thanks in advance.

Well actually I'm working right nowm with the Recon TDS, where is available info in www.tdsway.com, and for example this device, has a backup battery, which, provides the backup power when the primary battery is empty, or something like that.

Really the backup battery, no all devices have it, for example I'm work for multimedia matter with the Palm TREo, w750, which has Windows Mobile 5, camera, etc, and this smartphone does not have, a backup battery source. But the Recon does.

I'm was wondering of there is any way to query the native S.O. to ask about the possible presence of it, like using pinvoke . I perform an action, when the power is comming down, and if the device has a backup battery at least we have more time. I do not think it is a very hard issues, but I hope find something.

Thanks to all, the information its very useful.
