Does Macchina support two batteries?

[mohabmetwalli]

I wasn't sure if I should open this issue as a bug or a feature request, so I thought I should ask this question first.

My laptop has two batteries, and I suspect this is the reason macchina cannot read battery percentage.

macchina --doctor output:

Let's check your system for errors... Here's a summary:

We've collected 9 readouts, including 1 failed read(s) and 0 read(s) which resulted in a warning.
Readout "Battery" failed with message: No such file or directory (os error 2)

ls /sys/class/power_supply --all output:

.  ..  AC  BAT0  BAT1  ucsi-source-psy-USBC000:001  ucsi-source-psy-USBC000:002

Hi.

It can't. I don't really know how to tackle this problem, either. I also don't have the hardware to try and write an implementation. It would be very appreciated if you or others alike could give us a hand with this problem.

Even if multiple batteries are present, shouldn't macchina just report the status of the first one?

@mohabmetwalli: Can you show the directory listing of /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0?

Yes, indeed. I'll see what I can do to fix this. Adding support for this could prove to be a lot of work in libmacchina — dual-battery friends, if you really want to see support for multi-battery reports, please contribute your patches to libmacchina seeing as I don't have the hardware to do any meaningful tests.
