Navigator.getBattery()

The getBattery() method provides information about the system's battery, returns a battery promise, which is resolved in a BatteryManager object providing also some new events you can handle to monitor the battery status.. This implements the Battery Status API; see that documentation for additional details, a guide to using the API, and sample code.

Syntax

var batteryPromise = navigator.getBattery();

Return value

A Promise which, when resolved, calls its fulfillment handler with a single parameter: a BatteryManager object which you can use to get information about the battery's state.

Example

This example fetches the current charging state of the battery and establishes a handler for the chargingchange event, so that the charging state is recorded whenever it changes.

let batteryIsCharging = false;

navigator.getBattery().then(function(battery) {
  batteryIsCharging = battery.charging;

  battery.addEventListener('chargingchange', function() {
    batteryIsCharging = battery.charging;
  });
});
