How to create vb.net battery status with time?

Hi Jayden,

In Visual Studio, we have a build in class for getting battery status which is “PowerStatus” and we can get the system’s power status by the following code:

 

1. Dim psSystemBattery As PowerStatus = SystemInformation.PowerStatus
2. We can get the remaining battery from “BatteryLifePercent“property of PowerStatus class. There is one Enum “PowerLineStatus” which can be useful for you like “PowerLineStatus.Online”.
3. If psSystemBattery.PowerLineStatus = PowerLineStatus.Online Then ’’Means battery is charging".
4. ElseIf psSystemBattery.PowerLineStatus = PowerLineStatus.Offline Then ’’Means battery is not charging".

 

I hope this information will helps you. Thank you
