Fix NBF misreporting at 0% remaining battery life
wmbattstat is an i3blocks status indicator that reports a percentage of available battery power on your machine, based upon a single battery or a total sum of available power between all present batteries.
Due to the nature of battery technology and issues of inaccuracy from estimated times of remaining life before loss of power, wmbattstat does not, and will never, report such information.
1) Copy wmbattstat to a directory of your choosing.
2) Edit your i3blocks configuration file and add the following configuration:
[wmbattstat]
command=/path/to/wmbattstat
label=B
interval=1
Specify the full path of wmbattstat in the command argument.
3) Refresh your i3 or Sway session and enjoy.
