Battery warning value problem

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It seems that there is a rounding problem when storing the value:

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. File/New
2. Open general settings and set battery Warning to 10,2V
3. Close the general settings editor
4. Open it again: battery warning is now equal to 10,1V !

In addition, i don't know if those two things are linked: if i set a limit max. 
of 20 for channel 1 and then i test it with the simulator i observe that i can 
only go to 19,9

That's not critical at all of course, juste a bit disturbing ;-)

You're right on the second count.
It sometimes does not round up correctly.   This is because the background math 
is fixed point rather than floating point.  This is inherently faster but less 
accurate.

I'll look into the battery thing.
