  • Hi Diane,
    The image did not display, but I expect you are looking at 9.1.5 of the technical reference manual. This portion could use some clean up. In this paragraph Battery Low% is a variable in the equation which should be used as the data flash parameter Battery_Low% expressed as a number and divided by 2.56. The 7% would be expressed as a number 0.07 for calculation.
    In 9.1.6 the algorithm behavior is described using a equation and the author expressed them opposite, Battery_Low% is the variable used in the equation and is the Battery Low% parameter. Use the local context.
    Note also that the battery low % parameter value stored in the data flash is in 0.01% units, so the 7% is entered as a value of 700
