Hey, Henryhu, that is a great idea. Laozhang, can you modify the filesystem like that? If you have trouble with making Henry's suggested change, tell me and I'll see what I can do for you.

Also, if you can do what Henry suggests then I can write a modified power manager for you that will report the battery as always full. That way you can get updates from IDS.

Finally, I don't know exactly what is wrong with your battery board... but maybe it will be possible to still get the voltage from the Gas Gauge chip. So if you can do what Henry says, you will be able to use my program to monitor your battery level.
