If you were on battery running the above, that should be correct. "man
on_ac_power" says:

EXIT STATUS
       0 (true)  System is on mains power
       1 (false) System is not on mains power
       255 (false)    Power status could not be determined

(I found this out after seeing that I was 0 on mains power and 1 on
battery -- "why is it the wrong way around???")
