So i think i may have a problem with my battery. Is there a way to monitor my battery to show it's discharge rate and how much is left? Thanks in advance!

You can check the settings.hex, I believe. If not, I'll have something made.

EDIT: :( Sorry, I couldn't access my computer yesterday. I'll make it soon, I promise.
EDIT #2: Here you go!

The current battery voltage of the Gamebuino is stored in the following variable you can access any time : gb.battery.voltage
You can set gb.battery.show to either true or false for the battery logo to either appear or not in the top right corner
You will find more information on the power consumption page.
The plot of the discharge was made using the Battery logger, included in the Gamebuino Library examples.
I hope that helps :)

Thanks, that givea a clear heading on the ´sleep´ mode I proposed some other thread.
So the iddle condition (no backlight/no sound) is what can hold up to 24h.
