[Ti] PB Batteries

[Arjan Bos]

Got this from MacOSX hints some years back. It uses the same 
IORegistry, but formats the output into something more readable:
Put this in a file, make it executable  with the terminal and execute 
it via the terminal.
#-- snip here
#!/bin/bash

[ -x /usr/sbin/ioreg ] && \
     /usr/sbin/ioreg -p IODeviceTree -n "battery" -w 0 | \
     sed -ne '/| *{/,/| *}/ {
	s/^[ |]*//g
	/^[{}]/!p
        }' | \
	   awk '/Battery/ {
                gsub("[{}()\"]","", $3)
                gsub(","," ",$3)
                split($3,ct," ")
                # extract flag value and convert to hex
                sub("Flags=","",ct[2])
                str=sprintf("Flags=%d/0x%03x",ct[2],ct[2])
                sub("Flags=[0-9]*",str,$3)
                # get max and current charge levels
                sub(".*=","",ct[4])
                sub(".*=","",ct[5])
                printf("%s [%.1f%%]\n", tolower($3), 100*ct[5]/ct[4])
                }'
