Description
You should never take a battery status as absolute truth. Batteries (especially failing batteries) are
delicate hardware, and the values reported here are best estimates based on what that hardware reports.
It's not uncommon for older batteries to lose stored power much faster than it reports, or completely
drain when reporting it has 20 percent left, etc.
Function Parameters
gamepad
the gamepad object to query.
percent
a pointer filled in with the percentage of battery life left, between 0 and 100, or NULL to
ignore. This will be filled in with -1 we can't determine a value or there is no battery.
