NAME
       systemd-battery-check.service, systemd-battery-check - Check battery level whether there's enough
       charge, and power off if not

SYNOPSIS
       systemd-battery-check.service

       /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-battery-check [OPTIONS...]

DESCRIPTION
       This service checks the presence of an external power supply and the battery level during the early
       boot stage to determine whether there is sufficient power to carry on with the booting process.

       systemd-battery-check returns success if the device is connected to an AC power source or if the
       battery charge is greater than 5%. It returns failure otherwise.

OPTIONS
       The following options are understood by systemd-battery-check:

       -h, --help
	   Print a short help text and exit.

       --version
	   Print a short version string and exit.

EXIT STATUS
       On success (running on AC power or battery capacity greater than 5%), 0 is returned, a non-zero
       failure code otherwise.

KERNEL COMMAND LINE
       The following variables are understood:

       systemd.battery_check=BOOL
	   Takes a boolean. If specified with false, systemd-battery-check command will return immediately
	   with exit status 0 without checking battery capacity and AC power existence, and the service
	   systemd-battery-check.service will succeed. This may be useful when the command wrongly detects
	   and reports battery capacity percentage or AC power existence, or when you want to boot the
	   system forcibly.

	   Added in version 254.
