In fact that probably is the most difficul part...
Because user apps don't recieve acpi events.
The only way would be to guess that when a batterys capacity increases
(or decreases in a big jump) the battery has been exchanged.
> Another thing is that some systems have both BAT0 and BAT1...
i've seen "solutions" in "acpi-enabled" programs that check for BAT1, if
BAT1 is found they use BAT1 only; if not they use BAT0, else they
complain about lack of acpi support... ;)
My system could have BAT0, too - but that is the media bay socket my cd
writer is in; as i only have one battery i use BAT1 only. ;)
Of course there probably will be also hardware where three or more
batteries are available.
Command line "acpi" claims i don't have any batteries present... i
should file a bug against it...
