Description

BatteryBotPro gives some of extra information including the voltage of the battery, and includes several hacks to get mA (which do not apparently work on all phones, but may still be useful on a number of them). It also includes access to predictions of how much time is left until the battery runs out or finishes recharging, etc. It would be useful to add these features to termux-battery-status for scripts to make use of.

For convenience, here is the mA code, and here is the general battery info code. And here is some battery prediction stuff.

Research direction

Start with the termux-battery-status entry point and compare the referenced CurrentHack.java, BatteryInfo.java, and PredictorCore.java files. Determine which voltage, current, and battery-time prediction values can be exposed for scripts, then verify that the command reports the agreed additional fields.
