Sounds reasonable, I will try to build another implementation on top of upower.
Thanks for your hint.

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?

Hello List,
I have implemented a new plugin for showing battery icon and remained power
percentage on lxqt-panel.
Code is put here: https://github.com/waynecw/lxqt-panel/tree/master/plugin-power
This plugin periodically checks /sys directory to grab the latest battery
information, and shows a corresponding icon and percentage on the right side of
lxqt-panel. The current support icon themes are "gnome", "oxygen", and
"ubuntu-mono-dark/light".
Please feel free to play it, any comment is very welcome.
I hope this plugin can be integrated into lxqt-panel, and if no problem, I will
pull request to the main repository.
Thanks,
Wayne
