Battery Usage Threshold Setting

By default the Battery Usage Threshold value is set to a pre-defined value (400 by default). To change the
threshold value, a registry key must be created to allow changing this value.
A battery becomes unhealthy when the Battery Usage Indication reach a predefined threshold (end of usable
life).
NOTE The point at which a battery becomes unhealthy may vary depending upon the environment and charging
conditions.
