> The battery JavaScript code fires events when charge reaches some threshold percentages 20 and 5:
> {code}
> if (level === 20 || level === 5) {
>     if (level === 20) {
>         cordova.fireWindowEvent("batterylow", info);
>     }
>     else {
>         cordova.fireWindowEvent("batterycritical", info);
>     }
> }
> {code}
> But this logic makes an assumption that the level will at some point be *exactly* 20 or 5. It is not a valid assumption. AFAIK there is no guarantee that the device reports absolutely every percentage point 0-100, so if by bad luck the device reports levels 25,22,19,16... then clearly level===20 was missed so in this scenario the "batterylow" event the user was expecting is simply not going to happen.

> IMO the code should be checking when the previous lvel versus current level has crossed over the threshold, rather checking the current level is exactly equal to the threshold value.
