Cool, finally a solution! Thanks!
...But for some reason on an N800 with OS2008, it just freezes when i do the command alone instead of giving the time left and going back to the prompt.
And with -d 1 it prints the ------------ line and then does nothing... Any idea?
EDIT: Oh yes... unplug the device first haha, cheers ;-)

My bad. I've added the python2.5-dbus dependency.
Any chance of making this into a full replacement for the battery indicator in the status bar? Like a load-applet for battery status?

I guess there is no way to read the charge percentage
while the battery is charging? All I get when plugged
in is:
I'm guessing that the power management in the n810
is just not very sophisticated ...

Code:
Nokia-N810-50-2:~# battery-status [Jan 8 21:04] Charging

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/battery-status", line 6, in <module>
import gobject
ImportError: No module named gobject
update:
I got it to work by uninstalling battery-status, then doing a manual install of python runtime 2.5, then installing battery-status

You need to install python2.5-gobject from the extras repository. I will go ahead and add this as a dependency.

After my Diabo upgrade, battery-status worked for awhile, but some of the python stuff didn't go well and was affecting other apps. Now I think they all work, but now battery-status only runs as root. Under the user "user" it just returns nothing. Is there a permission or search path problem somewhere? The "internal-temp" program still works under "user".
I have a "Personal Menu" shortcut to battery-status because I find the normal battery status bar applet confusing. I wish there was a replacement for it that just gave the percentage number like battery-status and like on every other PC laptop.

Also, how do I view my log? The command listed doesn't do anything for me.
EDIT: Now, battery-status doesn't even seem to be working when I enter it in XTerm. I even tried reinstalling it. Light-meter works, though. Any ideas?

In reply to this particular question (insofar as the poster is still incarnated, let alone interested): Due to the nature of the charging process of LiIon batteries, a charge percentage while charging is completely uninformative. The only trustworthy measure is when the indicator gives a "battery fully charged" warning. A charging battery might give values of 90%, only to drop immediately to below 70 or even 50% when disconnected. LiIons charge in a very funny way.

Perhaps you didn't see it because it was already installed?
