AstalBatteryDevice

If it is ASTAL_BATTERY_TYPE_BATTERY, you will need to verify that the property power-supply has the value true before considering it as a laptop battery. Otherwise it will likely be the battery for a device of an unknown type.

Native path of the power source. This is the sysfs path, for example /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/device:00/PNP0C0A:00/power_supply/BAT0. It is blank if the device is being driven by a user space driver.

Name of the vendor of the battery.

Name of the model of this battery.

Unique serial number of the battery.

The point in time (seconds since the Epoch) that data was read from the power source.

If the power device is used to supply the system. This would be set true for laptop batteries and UPS devices, but set to false for wireless mice or PDAs.

Whether power is currently being provided through line power. This property is only valid if AstalBatteryDevice:device-type is ASTAL_BATTERY_TYPE_LINE_POWER.

Amount of energy (measured in Wh) currently available in the power source. This property is only valid if AstalBatteryDevice:device-type is ASTAL_BATTERY_TYPE_BATTERY.

Amount of energy (measured in Wh) in the power source when it’s considered to be empty. This property is only valid if AstalBatteryDevice:device-type is ASTAL_BATTERY_TYPE_BATTERY.

Amount of energy (measured in Wh) in the power source when it’s considered full. This property is only valid if AstalBatteryDevice:device-type is ASTAL_BATTERY_TYPE_BATTERY.

Amount of energy (measured in Wh) the power source is designed to hold when it’s considered full. This property is only valid if AstalBatteryDevice:device-type is ASTAL_BATTERY_TYPE_BATTERY.

Amount of energy being drained from the source, measured in W. If positive, the source is being discharged, if negative it’s being charged.

Voltage in the Cell or being recorded by the meter.

The number of charge cycles as defined by the TCO certification, or -1 if that value is unknown or not applicable.

Luminosity being recorded by the meter.

Number of seconds until the power source is considered empty. Is set to 0 if unknown. This property is only valid if AstalBatteryDevice:device-type is ASTAL_BATTERY_TYPE_BATTERY.

Number of seconds until the power source is considered full. Is set to 0 if unknown. This property is only valid if AstalBatteryDevice:device-type is ASTAL_BATTERY_TYPE_BATTERY.

The amount of energy left in the power source expressed as a percentage between 0 and 1. This property is only valid if AstalBatteryDevice:device-type is ASTAL_BATTERY_TYPE_BATTERY. The percentage will be an approximation if AstalBatteryDevice:battery-level is set to something other than None.

The temperature of the device in degrees Celsius. This property is only valid if AstalBatteryDevice:device-type is ASTAL_BATTERY_TYPE_BATTERY.

If the power source is present in the bay. This property is only valid if AstalBatteryDevice:device-type is ASTAL_BATTERY_TYPE_BATTERY.

The battery power state. This property is only valid if AstalBatteryDevice:device-type is ASTAL_BATTERY_TYPE_BATTERY.

If the power source is rechargeable. This property is only valid if AstalBatteryDevice:device-type is ASTAL_BATTERY_TYPE_BATTERY.

The capacity of the power source expressed as a percentage between 0 and 1. This property is only valid if AstalBatteryDevice:device-type is ASTAL_BATTERY_TYPE_BATTERY.

Technology used in the battery: This property is only valid if AstalBatteryDevice:device-type is ASTAL_BATTERY_TYPE_BATTERY.

Warning level of the battery.

The level of the battery for devices which do not report a percentage but rather a coarse battery level. If the value is None. then the device does not support coarse battery reporting, and the AstalBatteryDevice:percentage should be used instead.

An icon name representing this Device. NOTE: AstalBatteryDevice:battery-icon-name might be a better fit as it is calculated from percentage.

Indicates if AstalBatteryDevice:state is charging or fully charged.

Indicates if AstalBatteryDevice:device-type is not line power or unknown.

An icon name in the form of “battery-level-$percentage-$state-symbolic”.

A string representation of this device’s AstalBatteryDevice:device-type.

An icon name that can be used to represent this device’s AstalBatteryDevice:device-type.
