📄 Description

The current used condition is [ -f /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0 ] always returns 1 (exit code) as /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0 is a directory, not a file. It seems to be a omission because I notice you mentioned the corrected command in #698.

However, it still doesn't work with my laptop. There's only one internal battery, and it's labeled as BAT1 rather than BAT0.

Some checks:

> ls /sys/class/power_supply
ACAD  BAT1

> sudo dmesg | grep 'BAT'                                                                            
[    0.466610] ACPI: battery: Slot [BAT1] (battery present)

> upower -e                                              
/org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT1
/org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/line_power_ACAD
/org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/DisplayDevice

Thus, I suggest another check condition to make it work:

ls /sys/class/power_supply/ | grep --quiet '^BAT'
