Support Multiple Batteries
Display status of the batteries per instance
Out of the box the primary battery status will be displayed in the i3-bar. For some laptops that have multiple batteries, e.g. ThinkPads, you want to have both batteries displayed:
- Stage your i3xrocks configuration files, then open
~/.config/regolith/i3xrocks/conf.d/80_battery
in your editor of choice. - Find the line that pertains to the battery blocklet:
# Battery indicator
#
# Displays total percentage charge left of specified battery.
[battery]
interval=30
# instance=BAT0
- List all the battery instances running on your machine by running:
ls /sys/class/power_supply/
# AC BAT0 BAT1
- Update the staged config file to have a new blocklet as such:
...
# Battery indicator
#
# Displays total percentage charge left of specified battery.
[battery]
interval=30
instance=BAT0
[battery]
interval=30
instance=BAT1
