How can I get my laptop's charging value with python

Question

I use a Lenovo Thinkpad and need a python program that can get me my laptop's charging percentage.

For Example: 74%, 98%, 16%

I've searched around but can't seem to find exactly what I need

Can anyone help?

You can get remaining time as follows:

import psutil as ps
batterystats = dict(ps.sensors_battery()._asdict())
print(batterystats)
timeleft = batterystats.get('secsleft')
percent = batterystats.get('percent')

print('battery percent : '+str(percent)+'%')
print('time left (secs) : '+str(timeleft)+' secs')

The answer is in seconds you can convert it though.
