Copy code
osquery> select percent_remaining AS "battery_charge_%", max_capacity, current_capacity from battery;
+------------------+--------------+------------------+
| battery_charge_% | max_capacity | current_capacity |
+------------------+--------------+------------------+
| 100 | 8331 | 8091 |

This is all coming out of some apple IO frameworks. Battery health is straight from that API. Nose around https://github.com/osquery/osquery/blob/e09c4618e70bebe235f59f30c16ae30cca498d15/osquery/tables/system/darwin/battery.mm#L90-L98
