Support Multiple Batteries

Out of the box the primary battery status will be displayed in the i3-bar. For some laptops that have multiple batteries, e.g. ThinkPads, you want to have both batteries displayed:

1. Stage your i3xrocks configuration files, then open ~/.config/regolith/i3xrocks/conf.d/80_battery in your editor of choice.
2. Find the line that pertains to the battery blocklet:

# Battery indicator
#
# Displays total percentage charge left of specified battery.
[battery]
interval=30
# instance=BAT0

3. List all the battery instances running on your machine by running:

ls /sys/class/power_supply/

# AC BAT0 BAT1

4. Update the staged config file to have a new blocklet as such:

...
# Battery indicator
#
# Displays total percentage charge left of specified battery.
[battery]
interval=30
instance=BAT0

[battery]
interval=30
instance=BAT1
