NAME

waybar - battery module

DESCRIPTION

The battery module displays the current capacity and state (eg. charging) of your battery.

CONFIGURATION

bat:

typeof: string

The battery to monitor, as in /sys/class/power_supply/ instead of auto detect.

adapter:

typeof: string

The adapter to monitor, as in /sys/class/power_supply/ instead of auto detect.

full-at:

typeof: integer

Define the max percentage of the battery, for when you’ve set the battery to stop charging at a lower level to save it. For example, if you’ve set the battery to stop at 80% that will become the new 100%.

design-capacity:

typeof: bool

default: false

Option to use the battery design capacity instead of its current maximal capacity.

interval:

typeof: integer

default: 60

The interval in which the information gets polled.

states:

typeof: object

A number of battery states which get activated on certain capacity levels. See waybar-states(5).

format:

typeof: string

default: {capacity}%

The format, how information should be displayed.

format-time:

typeof: string

default: {H} h {M} min

The format, how the time should be displayed.

format-icons:

typeof: array/object

Based on the current capacity, the corresponding icon gets selected.

The order is low to high. Or by the state if it is an object.

max-length:

typeof: integer

The maximum length in character the module should display.

min-length:

typeof: integer

The minimum length in characters the module should accept.

align:

typeof: float

The alignment of the text, where 0 is left-aligned and 1 is right-aligned. If the module is rotated, it will follow the flow of the text.

rotate:

typeof: integer

Positive value to rotate the text label.

on-click:

typeof: string

Command to execute when clicked on the module.

on-click-middle:

typeof: string

Command to execute when middle-clicked on the module using mousewheel.

on-click-right:

typeof: string

Command to execute when you right-click on the module.

on-update:

typeof: string

Command to execute when the module is updated.

on-scroll-up:

typeof: string

Command to execute when scrolling up on the module.

on-scroll-down:

typeof: string

Command to execute when scrolling down on the module.

smooth-scrolling-threshold:

typeof: double

Threshold to be used when scrolling.

tooltip:

typeof: bool

default: true

Option to disable tooltip on hover.

bat-compatibility:

typeof: bool

default: false

Option to enable battery compatibility if not detected.

FORMAT REPLACEMENTS

{capacity}: Capacity in percentage

{power}: Power in watts

{icon}: Icon, as defined in format-icons.

{time}: Estimate of time until full or empty. Note that this is based on the power draw at the last refresh time, not an average.

TIME FORMAT

The battery module allows you to define how time should be formatted via format-time.

The three arguments are: {H}: Hours {M}: Minutes {m}: Zero-padded minutes

CUSTOM FORMATS

The battery module allows one to define custom formats based on up to two factors. The best-fitting format will be selected.

format-<state>: With states, a custom format can be set depending on the capacity of your battery.

format-<status>: With the status, a custom format can be set depending on the status in /sys/class/power_supply/<bat>/status (in lowercase).

format-<status>-<state>: You can also set a custom format depending on both values.

STATES

• Every entry (state) consists of a <name> (typeof: string) and a <value> (typeof: integer).

• The state can be addressed as a CSS class in the style.css. The name of the CSS class is the <name> of the state.

Each class gets activated when the current capacity is equal to or below the configured <value>.

• Also each state can have its own format. Those can be configured via format-<name>. Or if you want to differentiate a bit more even as format-<status>-<state>. For more information see custom-formats.

EXAMPLES

"battery": {

"bat": "BAT2",

"interval": 60,

"states": {

"warning": 30,

"critical": 15

},

"format": "{capacity}% {icon}",

"format-icons": ["ï", "ï", "ï", "ï", "ï"],

"max-length": 25

}

STYLE

#battery
#battery.<status>

<status> is the value of /sys/class/power_supply/<bat>/status in lowercase.

#battery.<state>

<state> can be defined in the config. For more information see states.

#battery.<status>.<state>

• Combination of both <status> and <state>.
