 - MANUFACTURER_INFO 0x25
 
 A detailed description of all of these parameters/commands can be found in the [Smart Battery Data Specification](https://duluthmachineworks.github.io/ArduinoSMBus/docs/datasheets/sbdat110.pdf).
+
+These methods are provided in the format of the SMBus specifications. Several additional methods break out some useful data:
+- statusOK(): returns true if no battery status errors are present, false if any errors are present.
+- isCharging(): returns true if the battery is charging
+- isFullyCharged(): returns true if the battery is fully charged
+- manufactureYear(): returns an int of the year of manufacture. This is extracted from the stacked integer format of manufactureDate().
+
 At this time, this library is only capable of reading registers from the BMS, and not capable of writing them. With some additional work, writing to the BMS should be possible.
+
 Full documentation of this library can be found via doxygen [here.](https://duluthmachineworks.github.io/ArduinoSMBus/docs/)
