Besides the fact that I like the principle of the idea, I am not sure whether the approach of hiding works better than disabling. I am saying this since it's quite common to have people unplugging their battery at times to save some of its lifecycle. Hence, the fact that batteryCount == 0 might also mean that the battery is simply unplugged, and maybe if that's the case having the fields simply disabled might make more sense. What do you think?
