EstimatedChargeRemaining
An estimate of the percentage of full charge remaining.
EstimatedRunTime
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.
HealthState
Indicates the current health of the element. This attribute expresses the health of
this element but not necessarily that of its subcomponents.
DMTF has reserved the unused portion of the continuum for additional HealthStates
in the future.
Possible values are:
● 0 = Unknown—The implementation cannot report on HealthState at this time.
● 5 = OK—The element is fully functional and is operating within normal
operational parameters and without error.
● 10 = Degraded/Warning—The element is in working order and all functionality is
provided. However, the element is not working to the best of its abilities. For
example, the element may not be operating at optimal performance or it may be
reporting recoverable errors.
● 15 = Minor failure—All functionality is available but some may be degraded.
● 20 = Major failure—The element is failing. It is possible that some or all of the
functionality of this component is degraded or not working.
● 25 = Critical failure—The element is non-functional and recovery may not be
possible.
● 30 = Non-recoverable error—The element has completely failed, and recovery is
not possible. All functionality provided by this element has been lost.
● .. = DMTF Reserved
