Thanks for the contribution.
Maybe you can consider using upower instead.
Directly reading from /sys is definitely faster.
However, some buggy hardware drivers either reported wrong values or use
different formats for the output.
We encountered this problems long time ago while developing a battery
plugin for old lxde gtk+ version.
Internally, upower may did many workarounds for them and report correct
values to us.
In addition, letting upower monitor for the changes in an event-driven
manner is easier than polling it ourselves.
What do you think?
