    Nice post.
    If I remember correctly one can also look in the /proc/acpi folder for some more details

      ya we can look in the /proc/acpi folder for more information like

      $ cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info // for more info about battery

      $ cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state // for battery state
