battery

API to your laptop's battery.

Based on the UPower tool available by default on Ubuntu and Debian distros. Other data sources can be easilly added as plugins.

Example

battery = Battery.new
battery.energy_left          # =>   0.97  (almost fully charged)
battery.voltage              # =>  12.78  [V]
battery.charging?            # =>  true
battery.vendor               # =>  'Panasonic'
battery.update.energy_left   # =>   0.96  (notice the updated value)

See the acceptance tests for the exhaustive list of examples. Don't fear to look at the code.
