❔ Laptop Battery Info

I would like to create a simple app that monitors information about the battery, such as its overall health, capacity, voltage, and other relevant details. Currently, I have create a basic console app in .NET Core that retrieves some information about the battery. Here's the existing code:

using System;
using System.Management;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT * FROM Win32_Battery");

        foreach (ManagementObject queryObj in searcher.Get())
        {
            PropertyDataCollection properties = queryObj.Properties;

            foreach (PropertyData property in properties)
            {
                Console.WriteLine($"{property.Name}: {property.Value}");
            }
        }
    }
}

using System;
using System.Management;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT * FROM Win32_Battery");

        foreach (ManagementObject queryObj in searcher.Get())
        {
            PropertyDataCollection properties = queryObj.Properties;

            foreach (PropertyData property in properties)
            {
                Console.WriteLine($"{property.Name}: {property.Value}");
            }
        }
    }
}

However, this code does not provide all the desired information about the battery. I need to retrieve additional details like the current battery capacity and designed battery capacity. How can I modify the code to obtain these missing or additional battery information? Here's the sample output from the current code:

Looks like nothing has happened here. I will mark this as stale and this post will be archived until there is new activity.
