I use a fvwmscript to watch acpi battery level.
I have a small shell script 'bat_level' that just does
"acpi | sed -e 's/^.*, \([0-9]*\)%.*$/\1%/g'"
to get the % value
This is called by FvwmApplet-ACPI (attached) which just displays this.
Swallow this via
*PanelBar: (2x1 Swallow (Kill) "FvwmApplet-ACPI" "FvwmScript FvwmApplet-ACPI")
And bobs-your-uncle there it is. Change fonts etc to match your desktop as
needed
