BatteryManager

Summary

The navigator.getBattery method returns a battery promise that is resolved in a BatteryManager interface which you can use to interact with the Battery Status API.

BatteryManager.chargingTime Read only: A number representing the remaining time in seconds until the battery is fully charged, or 0 if the battery is already fully charged.
BatteryManager.dischargingTime Read only: A number representing the remaining time in seconds until the battery is completely discharged and the system will suspend.
BatteryManager.level Read only: A number representing the system's battery charge level scaled to a value between 0.0 and 1.0.
