So the more a battery is used and charged the higher the number? 2) State of Health : My understanding is that the unit requires certain DLLs in order for this property to work, specifically:

SPIAPI32.DLL

Version 1.02 or later

SPI.DLL

Version 1.00 or later

BattDrvr.DLL

Version 0.9 or later

RcmAPI32.DLL

Version 1.11 or later

Rcm2API32.DLL

Version 1.11 or later

Is this something a customer could load onto the device, or is it something that just has to already be there (as in if it doesn't work the device is just too old, for instance)? And finally, would using a third party battery (in this case, a HoneyWell) affect how GetSmartBatteryStatus is performing? Currently there is no difference between the customer's HW and motorola batteries, but I'm curious about it.
