I use this script:

Call it with -s to get a
MAX_BATTERY_CAPACITY=84240

do
echo `date '+%Y%m%d %H:%M'` `uptime | sed 's/.*:

Thank you for all the responses.

Hey guys,
I've tried modifying the .xinitrc to contain the battery percentage
level from apm but I cannot seem to get it. What is the proper way to
do this? I am sure many of you have this on your status bar. Any hints
or suggestions on how to approach this issue?

You will probably be using acpi instead of apm.
Install 'powersave' or just type 'acpitool'.
$ powersave -b
Battery: 100 %
AC is online.
$ acpitool
Battery #1 : charged, 100.0%, -462:00:00
AC adapter : on-line
Thermal zone 1 : ok, 63 C
$ acpitool -b
Battery #1 : charged,
