Stumbled on a solution: in the qtile-extras repo, there's a widget that
(per documentation) supports multiple batteries:
https://qtile-extras.readthedocs.io/en/stable/manual/ref/widgets.html#upowerwidget
I remembered this thread when I saw it, so figured I'd pass it along. I
haven't used it myself, but the qtile-extras package is maintained by one
of qtile's core developers.
