I recently created a handful of scripts for polybar, to add some missing functionality that I wanted.

  • VPN status
  • dual battery info
  • connected bluetooth devices
  • available package updates

Thought I might share, in case anyone finds them useful or wants to modify them for other use cases.

Cheers!

Maybe look at contributing them to the ploybar-scripts repo so other people can discover them more easily.

How common is it to have a laptop with 2 batteries?

Old thinkpads would actually let you replace the dvd-rom with another battery. Many thinkpads would have internal and removable batteries too though not sure how present this is in contemporary models.

I don't know how common it is, but one motivating reason I bought mine was because it had 2 removable battery bays.
