No Problem.

I'm at work now without my charger (only have one). I can get an "almost full"
reading now and an "almost dead" reading in a few hours.

Once home I can get "dead on charger", "full on charger", and "full" readings.

Are those what you need?

Here's an "almost full" reading to start you off:

spider:/mnt/ramfs/root# cat /proc/apm
battRdEvent: len=5
0005600300

h3600_apm_get_power_status: ac_status=0 chem=5 status=0 voltage=360
1.13 1.2 0x00 0x00 0xbattRdEvent: len=5
0005600300

ff 0xffh3600_apm_get_power_status: ac_status=0 chem=5 status=0 voltage=360
 255% -1 ?
