 =Description=
-Returns a number which can be used to calculate the voltage using this formula: <code>magic * (voltage / 256)</code> where <code>magic</code> is a constant number which seems to range somewhere between <code>4.6</code> and <code>5.0</code>. Based on calculations and battery behavior it seems like it's indeed <code>5.0</code>.
+Returns a number which can be used to calculate the voltage using <code>Vref * (value / 256)</code> where <code>Vref</code> seems to be <code>5.0v</code>.
-When the charger is plugged into a fully charged old3DS unit, this value will be maximum 0xD1
+When the charger is plugged into a fully charged old3DS, the value will be around 0xD1 (~4.1v)
-Unplugging the charger will make the value go down to 0xCE
+Unplugging the charger will make the value go down to 0xCE (~4v)
-The voltage at 5% battery percentage just after the LEDs start flashing is 0xAF
+The voltage at 5% battery percentage just after the LEDs start flashing is 0xAF (~3.4v)
-Plugging in the charger at this point will make the voltage go up to 0xB9
+Plugging in the charger at this point will make the voltage go up to 0xB9 (~3.6v)
