| Ok.

another thing: I changed the current drain from "mA or mWh" to "mAh or mW" 
in
smartbattery.c but I'm having some doubts:

It's mAh or mWh, depending of the value of CAPACITY_MODE.  This is a r/w
bit in BatteryMode() word (the 15th).  If this bit is clear (default),
then it is mAh and this is current in mAh.  If this bit is set, this
power, exprimed as 10mWh.

I've fixed this issue.  Hopefully it should be ok now.
