navigator.battery

Obsolete since Gecko 50 (Firefox 50 / Thunderbird 50 / SeaMonkey 2.47)
This feature is obsolete.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.

The battery read-only property returns a BatteryManager provides information about the system's battery charge level; provides also some new events you can handle to monitor the battery status. This implements the Battery Status API; see that documentation for additional details, a guide to using the API, and sample code.

The battery property has been removed in favor of the standard Navigator.getBattery() method, which returns a battery Promise. Its support is still partial though.

Syntax

var battery = navigator.battery;
