Thanks, But not what i exactly am looking for, the point is i don't need to know each battery capacity but have them combined and displayed as there was one battery (status, calculated percentage from both, calculated time remaining on battery/to charge from both), the idea is that i don't want to have two battery icons or two widgets for each battery but have a single one to report the total from both.
There is also some math to do in the script as not two batteries have same capacity, internal is smaller and the external is much bigger. There is someone who did a upower script for exactly the same laptop (Lenovo ThinkPad X240) but he does have separated scripts for percentage, wattage, time etc. Link is here: https://github.com/pcchou/dual-battery-thinkpad-upower-script Unluckily i have no scripting experience to create/merge a single script from this link to have the desired output which is as shown in the picture below: [image: battery.png] So as seen in the picture, this is what i exactly need to display from the battery widget in the same order but this should be the calculated output from both batteries. 1. The icon/status (full;empty;charging;discharging) 2. The calculated capacity from both batteries 3. The time remaining on battery (calculated total from both batteries), time remaining to charge both batteries). 4. Possibly have like 3 different icons per level : Full battery icon as on the picture from 100-75% capacity, a half charged icon from 74-25% and a almost empty icon from 24-0% An if statement in case the laptop has only one battery to not have to change anything on the script which i may possibly use on a future laptop (like the guy on the link did). Thanks in advance !
