BatteryManager.dischargingTime

Obsolete
This feature is obsolete. Although it may still work in some browsers, its use is discouraged since it could be removed at any time. Try to avoid using it.

Indicates the amount of time, in seconds, that remains until the battery is fully discharged.

Even if the time returned is precise to the second, browsers round them to a higher interval (typically to the closest 15 minutes) for privacy reasons.

Syntax

var time = battery.dischargingTime

On return, time is the remaining time in seconds until the battery, which is a BatteryManager object, is fully discharged and the system will suspend. This value is Infinity if the battery is currently charging rather than discharging, or if the system is unable to report the remaining discharging time.

Example

HTML Content

<div id="dischargingTime">(discharging time unknown)</div>

JavaScript Content

navigator.getBattery().then(function(battery) {

    var time = battery.dischargingTime;

    document.querySelector('#dischargingTime').textContent = battery.dischargingTime;
});
