Enhancement: Regarding Support Multiple Types of Batteries

[dev-onejun]

Describe the feature you'd like

Since (it seems that) there are a few types of laptop batteries not supported by the current battery.sh script,
I would like to add a feature to enable dracula/tmux to get a piece of information without neither upower or acpi which requires an additional installation.

Describe risks you've considered

Descriptions

Thank you for maintaining this wonderful tmux theme.

I recently joined the tmux and used the dracula theme.

However, I encountered an issue that the battery info was not presented while I configured the theme on my laptop.

Here are my device details:

$ uname -a
Linux XXX 6.2.0-39-generic #40~22.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Nov 16 10:53:04 UTC 2 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

$ ls /sys/class/power_supply
ADP1  CMB0  ucsi-source-psy-USBC000:001

$ upower -e
/org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/line_power_ADP1
/org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_CMB0
/org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/line_power_ucsi_source_psy_USBC000o001
/org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/DisplayDevice

The laptop manufacturer was LG, and CMB0 included the status and capacity of the battery.

Solutions

I think that the files, status and capacity, are the only unique files in the system showing information about the battery.

So, I edited line 10, which selected the battery device in the battery.sh script.

1

BAT=$(ls -d /sys/class/power_supply/*CMB* | head -1)

2

BAT=$(ls -d /sys/class/power_supply/*)

Both of them worked on my laptop.

In order to support the previous BAT, I chose the second solution. (#245)
