wezterm.battery_info()

Since: Version 20210314-114017-04b7cedd

The functionality described in this section requires version 20210314-114017-04b7cedd of wezterm, or a more recent version.

This function returns battery information for each of the installed batteries on the system. This is useful for example to assemble status information for the status bar.

The return value is an array of objects with the following fields:

• state_of_charge - the battery level expressed as a number between 0.0 (empty) and 1.0 (full)
• vendor - battery manufacturer name, or "unknown" if not known.
• model - the battery model string, or "unknown" if not known.
• serial - the battery serial number, or "unknown" if not known.
• time_to_full - if charging, how long until the battery is full (in seconds). May be nil.
• time_to_empty - if discharing, how long until the battery is empty (in seconds). May be nil.
• state - "Charging", "Discharging", "Empty", "Full", "Unknown"

This example shows the battery status for each battery, along with the date and time in the status bar:

local wezterm = require 'wezterm'

wezterm.on('update-right-status', function(window, pane)
  -- "Wed Mar 3 08:14"
  local date = wezterm.strftime '%a %b %-d %H:%M '

  local bat = ''
  for _, b in ipairs(wezterm.battery_info()) do
    bat = '🔋 ' .. string.format('%.0f%%', b.state_of_charge * 100)
  end

  window:set_right_status(wezterm.format {
    { Text = bat .. '   ' .. date },
  })
end)
