Give A Report On Battery Level?

I received my JD Humanoid a few days ago, and I have to say that so far I am very impressed! My idea was to be able to ask something along the lines of "whats your battery level" and have JD give me a response. The response either in the form of percentage or number or whatever. I know that anything is possible in programming, but I know there may be limits with the robots right now. However, I thought I would ask and see if anyone had ideas or if this has already been done.

Thanks!

*As a note, I do know that the humanoid alerts you when the battery is low. That is how I started to think about this idea.

I will fully charge, then let it run, and get back to you when its complete.

@vonjet How long will a car run on a tank of gas?... Depends... How fuel efficient the car is, is the driver a lead foot. are the tires properly inflated, carrying a lot of weight, uphill or down hill, in the cold or hot...etc... You get the picture...

You can do a simple guess-timate, however...... The ezb4 and camera use about 180mA... a servo can use anywhere from 20MmA to 1 - 2amps depending on how much it is used and how much load is on it... LEDs maybe 20Ma... so

X = hours of operation X = 1300/ (180 (ezb)+500mA (servo)+ 20mA(LEDS)) X = 1.85hrs (this will vary widely though as it depends on what the servo is doing)

Excellent. This is good info. Thank you.
