Energy Statistics Tab

[rayraven]

Problem

Currently, the battery icon on the top panel shows some rudimentary stats, but detailed data is not visible anywhere in Elementary os. You have to install a third party app such as Wattage or use terminal commands.

Proposal

To would be good to be able to see some energy/battery statistics in the monitor as a separate tab.

Basic statistics from upower would be good showing:

• Battery percentage
• Battery capacity (designed vs current)
• Battery state (charging / discharging)
• Charge cycles
• Time to empty / time to full
• Charge / Discharge rate

In addition, if powertop can be added into core elementary, it can even provide additional data such as per process battery use:

We could also track historical battery utilisation statistics and also show other battery powered accessory data (such as mice, controllers, headphones /earbuds etc..)
