## Overview



`battery` provides a cross-platform unified API to a notebook batteries state.



Its main goal is to wrap the OS-specific interfaces, cover all the hacks and legacy cases

and get the batteries information (such as state of charge, energy rate, voltage and temperature)

as a typed values, recalculated as necessary to be returned as a [SI measurement units](https://www.bipm.org/en/measurement-units/).



## Supported platforms



* Linux 2.6.39+

* MacOS 10.10+

* iOS

* Windows 7+

* FreeBSD

* DragonFlyBSD



Do note that iOS implementation uses IOKit bindings, your application

might be automatically rejected by Apple based on that fact. Use it on your own risk.



## Install



As a prerequisite, `battery` crate requires at least Rustc version **1.36** or greater.



Add the following line into a `Cargo.toml`:



```toml

[dependencies]

battery = "0.7.8"

```



## Examples



```rust

fn main() -> Result<(), battery::Error> {

    let manager = battery::Manager::new()?;



    for (idx, maybe_battery) in manager.batteries()?.enumerate() {

        let battery = maybe_battery?;

        println!("Battery #{}:", idx);

        println!("Vendor: {:?}", battery.vendor());

        println!("Model: {:?}", battery.model());

        println!("State: {:?}", battery.state());

        println!("Time to full charge: {:?}", battery.time_to_full());

        println!("");

    }



    Ok(())

}

```



See the `battery/examples/` folder in the [repository](https://github.com/svartalf/rust-battery/blob/master/battery/examples/simple.rs)

for additional examples.



## FFI bindings



Experimental [battery-ffi](https://crates.io/crates/battery-ffi) crate provides the FFI bindings to the `battery` crate,

so it can be used with other languages, such as C, Python or NodeJS.



Check its [README](https://github.com/svartalf/rust-battery/tree/master/battery-ffi)

and [documentation](https://docs.rs/battery-ffi) for details.



## Users



This an incomplete list of the `battery` crate users. If you are using it too,

send me a message and I'll add your project here!



### battop



[`battop`](https://github.com/svartalf/rust-battop) is an interactive viewer,

similar to `top`, `htop` and other \*top utilities, but about the batteries installed in your notebook.\

It is using the `battery` crate API to show the batteries information in your terminal.



### starship



[`starship`](https://github.com/starship/starship) is a Rust port of the minimalistic, powerful,

and extremely customizable prompt Spaceship ZSH.\

It is using the `battery` crate to show the the current battery level and status in a shell prompt.



Here is what [@matchai](https://github.com/matchai) says:



> I really appreciate how easily we were able to get your library up and running!

> Battery APIs were a headache for us in predecessors of this project 😅
