A battery widget, perhaps similar to the overlay buttons (back, forward, home) would be handy. Especially on tablets and mobile devices.

@brutus,

We have an alert implemented which appears on the kiosk screen when 5% of battery capacity is left (and it keeps discharging).
Do you want to monitor the battery status all the time?

Thanks

Yes, this would be a neat feature if possible.
