How to get the level of external battery?

[ Edited ]

Greetings!

 

We have an external battery working "fine" on Blackberry devices, but the battery level has not been accurate evaluated by the standard "Blackberry's battery level tracker".

 

Our proposition is to develop an application that can spot these level on. But our Java API is not helping us, since it informs a wrong level.

 

The battery level seems to be correctly measured once the device is restarted. Is there any way to restart the "module" that catch this battery level? I mean alike when the device is been turned on. Apparently, we need to develop a native class that can do it on OS level, is it possible?

 

Our first device target is the Blackberry Bold 9700, OS 5.0.

 

Thanks in advance!

 

---- Correcting some information

 

The battery level is correctly been decreased the problem is just when it is been recharger through a external recharger.

 

Thanks again!

Just to clarify: The problem is to track the battery level once it is being recharged through an external recharger. Then the battery level is not been accurate measured.
