BATTERY_CHEMISTRY_UNKNOWN
Battery chemistry is unknown.
Remarks
To return additional battery information, such as information about an extra battery, provide a data buffer larger than SYSTEM_POWER_STATUS_EX2 in the GetSystemPowerStatusEx2 function. Any extra information must be added after the BatteryChemistry member of the SYSTEM_POWER_STATUS_EX2 structure. There must be support for this implemented in the battery driver, and the implementation of this support varies depending on the hardware platform.
