    I have an ancient NEC Versa 4080H laptop, and I wiped Windows off of it
    to install Debian. I'd like to be able to check the power left in the
    battery. How would I do that? (Note that there's no X windows
    installed, so command line only please)

    Is there a /proc entry? I couldn't find one. Thanks for any help.

    Also please CC any replies to me, as I don't want to deal with the
    massive amounts of mail going through this server. Thanks.
