How to Check Battery Status Using Linux Command Line – Upower & ACPI commands | Power Source Info

Checking the battery status through GUI is easy. Hovering the mouse cursor over the battery indicator given in the Laptop task bar simply shows the battery level. But, did you know you can find the battery status through the Linux command line as well?

Similarly, knowing the power source, battery model name, the technology used, vendors, etc helps operate your devices better and keep work going without any hassles.

1️⃣The first and most powerful tool The upower command-line tool helps extract information related to the power source. It provides an interface to list down all the power sources of your PC or laptop.

📄Options Used with the upower Command :-
–monitor: You can print a line each time a battery or power source is added by connecting –monitor to upower. It also produces outputs while the power sources are removed or changed.
–monitor-detail: This option prints the full power source detail whenever an event occurs.

🔴Syntax
upower -i `upower -e | grep ‘BAT’`
i.e. upower -i /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0

2️⃣The acpi command extracts information from the /sys or the /proc filesystem. You get to know the battery status and thermal information using acpi.

🔴Syntax :-
acpi -V
acpi -t

3️⃣The “cat” and “find” commands also help find details about your battery and power source.

🔴Syntax :-
find /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/ -type f | xargs -tn1 cat
