$ batc [OPTIONS]

• -l, --live: monitor the battery live (close with q or Esc)
• -i, --inline: print the battery inline instead of the center of the screen
• -s, --small: print a small inline battery (requires nerd fonts)
• -t, --tech: print the technology of the battery shortened
• -f, --fat: print a slightly thicker battery
• -F, --fetch: adds extra information beside the battery
• -d, --digits: print the current capacity as a number inside of the battery (does not work with -s)
• -M, --mode=(mode): specify what to be printed with -d (capacity, temperature, or health)
• -e, --extra-colors: disable extra core color pattern for different modes
• -c, --alt-charge: use an alternate charging symbol (requires nerd fonts)
• -m, --minimal: print minimal text output
• -n, --no-color: disable colors
• -b, --bat-number=(bat_number): specify the battery number (default is the lowest one)

In live mode you can use some keybinds.

• d: toggle digits
• t: toggle tech
• e: toggle extra_colors
• f: toggle fat
• c: toggle alt_charge
• m: cycle mode
• 1: capacity mode
• 2: temp mode
• 3: power mode
• 4: health mode
• 5: time mode
• 6: charge mode

You can create a file named ~/.config/batc/batc.conf or ~/.config/batc/config in order to change the colors and the default flags (the flags then become toggles that do the opposite).

# colors can be one of 
# [red | green | yellow | blue | magenta | cyan | white | black | none]
# or a hex code (e.g., #0000ff)

color_high = green   # core color between 60-100%
color_mid = yellow   # core color between 20-60%
color_low = red      # core color between 0-20%

color_temp = magenta # core color in 't' mode
color_in = cyan      # core color in 'p' mode when charging
color_draw = blue    # core color in 'p' mode when discharging
color_health = red   # core color in 'h' mode

color_shell = white  # color of the outer shell
color_charge = cyan  # color of the charging symbol
color_tech = cyan    # color of the technology symbol
color_number = NULL  # color of the number inside

mode = capacity      # c or capacity in percent, 
                     # t or temperature in celsius,
                     # p or power in watts,
                     # h or health in percent

bat_number = 0       # read from /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0
