These bits are used by PC Card support software and firmware to indicate the amount of capacity
left in the battery in battery-backed cards in Memory Card Interface mode only. In I/O Card
Interface mode, bit 0 indicates the state of the BVD1/-STSCHG pin ( Table 2). Bit 1 status should
be ignored in I/O Card Interface mode.
