Abstract
The present invention discloses a system for detecting a battery voltage with high precision, of which a RC filter circuit or a PI type circuit is applied to a handheld hardware device for eliminating the effect of a power noise on a battery voltage detector of the handheld device, while an appropriate weight algorithm is used with the software of the handheld device, such that a conditional determination can be added to a remaining battery capacity parameter to compensate the effect of the fluctuated battery voltage caused by the consumed current, so as to detect the battery voltage with a high precision and allow users to determine the using time of the handheld device accurately.
