FORMAT REPLACEMENTS

{capacity}: Capacity in percentage

{icon}: Icon, as defined in format-icons.

{time}: Estimate of time until full or empty. Note that this is based on the power draw at the last refresh time, not an average.

TIME FORMAT

The battery module allows you to define how time should be formatted via format-time.

The two arguments are: {H}: Hours {M}: Minutes

CUSTOM FORMATS

The battery module allows to define custom formats based on up to two factors. The best fitting format will be selected.

format-<state>: With states, a custom format can be set depending on the capacity of your battery.

format-<status>: With the status, a custom format can be set depending on the status in /sys/class/power_supply/<bat>/status (in lowercase).

format-<status>-<state>: You can also set a custom format depending on both values.

STATES

•Every entry (state) consists of a <name> (typeof: string) and a <value> (typeof: integer).
•The state can be addressed as a CSS class in the style.css. The name of the CSS class is the <name> of the state. Each class gets activated when the current capacity is equal or below the configured <value>.
•Also each state can have its own format. Those con be configured via format-<name>. Or if you want to differentiate a bit more even as format-<status>-<state>. For more information see custom-formats.

"bat": "BAT2",
