Remarks
At the time writing, the author's PS Vita battery state of health is at 90%. You can use the VITAident app by joel16 to check your battery state of health and use it as a comparison.
During the tests, the battery percentage of the PS Vita when the alarm went off was always within 1% of the vita battery percentage value set in the ux0:app/BALM00001/hibernatechargerate.txt file.
If your battery state of health is better, your PS Vita might wake up at a percentage just above what you have set in the hibernatechargerate.txt file. If your battery state of health is worse, your PS Vita might wake up at a percentage just below what you have set in the hibernatechargerate.txt file.
Most likely, the accuracy will still be within 2% of your desired wakeup percentage. At the very least it should be consistent, so you can compensate by adjusting the alarmChargeValue in the hibernatechargerate.txt file to improve accuracy for your device.
