Hello,
Is there any way to monitor the charge left on the battery of a laptop?
Like how much percentage of the battery charge is left to allow us to
estimate how long it will work without connecting to a wall socket?
I googled for monitoring battery openbsd but got nothing satisfactory.

I tried 'apm -b' to get the battery status, but it showed 255, which

I tried 'apm -b' to get the battery status, but it showed 255, which
is 'unknown', is it because my laptop isn't properly supported?
Is there anything I could do

It's a ThinkPad R61i, dmesg below;
in that case, sysctl hw should give something like

hw.machine=i386
hw.model=Genuine Intel(R) CPU T2400 @ 1.83GHz (GenuineIntel 686-class)

could not be easily ported from $elsewhere.
This is in systat(1).

i think nothing)
dmesg and other data would help, but yes, you may have run into
something that's not supported (yet)
