Hello folks, is there a tool in Linux to track how much current the battery is pulling during charging? In Android there is Ampere that does this, and I’m looking for something similar. This nicely shows for example that my Android device is charging the battery with 1.5A right now.
I am not sure, but maybe upower could be useful.
upower -dwill dump all available information.This is exactly it, thanks! It doesn’t show the current, but it shows the voltage and the power and it can be calculated from it.
Pro tip: Add an alias for it into your
.bashrcto nicely view battery level in TTY. In my case I didalias battery='upower -i /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT1 | grep -wE "percentage:|time to empty:|state:|energy:|energy-rate:|voltage:"which shows me this:very nice, thanks!
