acpi is very useful on a laptop for distro deprived of an applet showing battery status, such as Dog-based OS.
I stumbled upon this how-to, so i add it for further reading : https://linoxide.com/linux-how-to/check ... -terminal/
YACPI is more informative than ACPI :
Yacpi is an acpi monitoring program for Linux. It displays various acpi information like battery status and ac status on notebooks. The main reason why i wrote this program is, because i don't like the acpi program, which is included in debian It displays things like battery status, ac status, cpu frequency, remaining battery/charge time, temperature... It also supports the use of more than one battery and can display them.
