tlp-stat: Show battery information.
$ sudo tlp-stat -b
try on your machine

The command "sudo tlp-stat -b" is used to display battery-related information using the TLP (TLP is an advanced power management tool for Linux) utility with superuser (root) privileges.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

  • "sudo": It is a command in Linux used to execute another command with superuser (root) privileges. Superuser privileges are required to access and retrieve battery-related information.

  • "tlp-stat": It is a command provided by the TLP utility. TLP stands for "TLP Linux Advanced Power Management" and is a tool used to optimize and manage power usage on Linux systems.

  • "-b": It is a flag/option used along with the "tlp-stat" command to specifically display battery-related information.

Therefore, when you execute the command "sudo tlp-stat -b" in the terminal, it will provide you with detailed information about your system's battery status, including its charge level, capacity, model, technology, and other relevant details.
