18,175 PointsI am not sure your condition in "if" statement is right. You're subtracting laps from "mBarsCount", so you should check if bars are not going below zero. Also you used wrong symbol in (“Not enough battery remains”). You should use ", not ” (these symbols are slightly different if you'll look close.
