What does a Timespan mean when you get decimals in the hours. e.g. 43.02:10:00 and how do I avoid it

Question

So I am trying to log a timespan of the battery life remaining on my device

my method is:

PowerStatus powerStatus = SystemInformation.PowerStatus;
if (powerStatus.BatteryLifeRemaining > -1)
{
     Console.WriteLine(String.Format("Battery Life Remaining {0}",new TimeSpan(0, 0, powerStatus.BatteryLifeRemaining)).ToString());
}

But I get strange values back from time to time like 7.01:44:22

Looking at TimeSpan Constructor

There example shows that:

TimeSpan( 1000, 2000, 3000 )         =     43.02:10:00
TimeSpan( 1000, -2000, -3000 )       =     40.05:50:00
TimeSpan( 999999, 999999, 999999 )   =  42372.15:25:39

But what do these values mean and how can I avoid getting them as they don't make a lot of sense in the real world

Answer 1

The MSDN documentation explains it well. The number preceding the decimal is days and after is hours.

43.02:10:00

Translates to:

43 days
02 hours
10 minutes
00 seconds

You can verify this with code:

var ts = new TimeSpan(1000, 2000, 3000);

Console.WriteLine(ts.TotalDays);  // Output: 43.0902777777778
Console.WriteLine(ts.Days);       // Output: 43

Console.WriteLine(ts.TotalHours); // Output: 1034.16666666667
Console.WriteLine(ts.Hours);      // Output: 2
