A while back I came across this awesome post
http://stevelosh.com/blog/2010/02/my-extravagant-zsh-prompt/ which
introduced me to oh-my-zsh and described a very neat way to put
battery status on the right prompt for those using a Macbook.

The script used Apple Battery Status to get information. This will not
work in Linux. Luckily /proc/acpi/battery has all the information we
need.

I googled around and found this python code that I could use to
combine these two scripts .

The resulting work requires(maybe?) oh-my-zsh https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh
and python to out put battery status of your laptop(?) on your
terminals right prompt.

Please checkout and of course modify to your hearts content.
