A quick google shows that both APM (=old) and ACPI (=nasty) have support for batteries, I suggest you start looking there.

i know about that.in my system i have only used apm for some power down routines, nothing else so far - so i dont know much about it and i have not found any texts covering the things i want to do (except official datasheet ofcourse :) ).but i'll check again.
