On laptops powered by Linux, the battery status is exposed by the kernel
using the file on /proc pseudo filesystem. The file that you could use
to monitor on most laptops is /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state. Listed
below is a simple python code snippet that scans this file every 1
second, collects the necessary statistics and prints the remaining
charge on your laptop battery.
You can customize this code or optimize it to your liking. For convenience you can add this script to your start up applications. So whenever you log in to your lappy, it gets auto started. You can also modify it to show you the alert to unplug your laptop from the AC adaptor when the battery is full.
