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