battstat - simple CLI battery status tool

I didn't like the consistency of ibam so I wrote my own. It doesn't do nearly as much as ibam but it seems more consistant - at least for me. Anyways thought I'd share it for anyone who is interested. Here are a few sample outputs:

tyletyler@cobalt ~ $ battstat
         <<BAT1>>
SANYO - MAL32b | LION | rechargeable
Remaining Charge  : 36.06 %
Time Left         : 00:43 Hrs
Charging State    : discharging
Charge Alert      : None

tyler@cobalt ~ $ battstat
         <<BAT1>>
SANYO - MAL32b | LION | rechargeable
Remaining Charge  : 34.65 %
Time Left         : 01:53 Hrs
Charging State    : charging
Charge Alert      : None

tyler@cobalt ~ $ battstat
         <<BAT1>>
SANYO - MAL32b | LION | rechargeable
Remaining Charge  : 99.64 %
Time Left         : --:-- Hrs
Charging State    : charged
Charge Alert      : None

Very nice. Just what I was looking for to use with my dwm dzen widgets. Also brought my attention to this fine community forums. I've now got somewhere to post the CLI/Ruby extension keyboard switcher I recently made.

Thanks!
