What are the units for battery temperature and voltage when Intent.BATTERY_ACTION_CHANGED on android device?

Question

I retrieved battery temperature and voltage information using the intent Intent.ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED and the values I got are pretty weird. I could not get any clue: temperature=270 and voltage=3782!

What are these values? Do they have any units like celsius, fahrenheit or milli or micro volt?

Answer 1

• voltage- int, current battery voltage in millivolts

• temperature - int, current battery temperature in tenths of a degree Centigrade

From here.

what is tenths of a degree centigrade?? how to convert it to celcius? – Foust

@AshokJeev, you divide it by 10 because there are 10 tenths in an unit: temperature_C = (float) ( intent.getIntExtra(BatteryManager.EXTRA_TEMPERATURE, 0) / 10); – Flare

Celcius is the same as centigrade. Mr. Celcius, who invented that temperature scale wanted it named centigrage, but it is also called Celcius since his death. – Gummy
