BATTERY_FLAG_CHARGING is a bit mask. It needs to be masked with batteryflag.

 
 
  if (status.batteryflag & BATTERY_FLAG_CHARGING)

can you write it for me because i cant understand what u want me to do.

Replace line 53 with what I provided.

status.batteryflag is a series of bits. You have to do a bitwise and with the named constant to determine if the bit is set.
