A taiHEN plugin that shows battery percent in statusbar for IRS-1001 motherboard (Japanese "Sapphire Blue" and "Cosmic Red" OLED Vita PCH-1000 model)
If you've modded your Japanese "Sapphire Blue" or "Cosmic Red" PCH-1000 OLED Vita using the default HENkaku Ensō tutorial, you might have noticed a battery cap issue at 83%. This happens because the tutorial installs the shellbat.suprx taiHEN plugin, which is meant for the IRS-002 motherboard found in most OLED PSVitas.


==About This Plugin==
The reason behind this 83% limit is that the charge controller on the IRS-1001 motherboard is set to stop charging at 4.05V, whereas the usual IRS-002 motherboard charges up to 4.2V. So, when the battery voltage hits 4.05V, the taiHEN API returns 83% as the battery life.
This plugin is a solution for the incorrect battery percentage display on certain models of the PS Vita, specifically the Sapphire Blue and Cosmic Red Japanese OLED PS Vita (IRS-1001 motherboard). The issue is that these models would show a maximum battery charge of 83% when modded using the default HENkaku Ensō tutorial. This is due to the charge controller on the IRS-1001 motherboard being set to cutoff at 4.05V, whereas other OLED PS Vita models with the IRS-002 motherboard charge fully to 4.2V.


This plugin modifies the original [[Shellbat Vita|shellbat]] plugin to scale the battery percentage display from 0-83 to 0-100, which only affects the displayed percentage and not the actual charging cutoff voltage. The solution is for UI/UX cosmetics only, and the actual battery life remains unchanged.
To address this, the original [[Shellbat_Vita|shellbat plugin]] was modified to adjust the displayed percentage from 0 to 83 to a full 0 to 100 range.


==Notes==
Note that this tweak only affects what you see on your screen; it doesn't change the actual charging cutoff voltage or your battery life. It's just for cosmetic purposes.
Make sure you have a brick protection ([[EmergencyMount Vita]] or something similar). This plugin was only tested on the author’s own Vita (PCH-1000 Sapphire Blue); use it at your own risk!

If you've modded your Japanese "Sapphire Blue" or "Cosmic Red" PCH-1000 OLED Vita using the default HENkaku Ensō tutorial, you might have noticed a battery cap issue at 83%. This happens because the tutorial installs the shellbat.suprx taiHEN plugin, which is meant for the IRS-002 motherboard found in most OLED PSVitas.

The reason behind this 83% limit is that the charge controller on the IRS-1001 motherboard is set to stop charging at 4.05V, whereas the usual IRS-002 motherboard charges up to 4.2V. So, when the battery voltage hits 4.05V, the taiHEN API returns 83% as the battery life.

To address this, the original shellbat plugin was modified to adjust the displayed percentage from 0 to 83 to a full 0 to 100 range.

Note that this tweak only affects what you see on your screen; it doesn't change the actual charging cutoff voltage or your battery life. It's just for cosmetic purposes.

Note: Before using, make sure you have a brick protection (EmergencyMount or something similar). Use it at your own risk.

Installation
