Conky - how to display Pinebook battery?

[jschall]

I would like to add a battery monitor to my conky.

I have tried ${battery BAT0} and ${battery BAT1}, but neither produce any display.

What am I missing?

cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/capacity

Thank you, @e-minguez.

That terminal command does indeed return the current battery percent.

I could create a script and run it in conky, but isn't there a conky command?

I finally have a workaround that displays the battery percentage and status in Conkyon my Pinebook.
I use the shell commands in script files:
#!/bin/sh
cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/capacity
and
#!/bin/sh
cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/status
and I just use two ${exec ./ } commands on a line in .conkyrc
It may not be elegant, but it works.
