How to get an information about battery's voltage through Terminal?

I would like to make a script showing battery's voltage on Low Power Mode (with the help of Billboard application). I have been looking for it in /proc and few other folders but I didn't found anything useful. That might be useful due to well known 4% battery drop bug. I know there is a fix with restarting bme but it is not as convenient.

I found it - bmestat.

And I made a script for Billboard:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
a=$(bmestat | grep "battery cur. voltage" | awk '{print $4}' | cut -c0-1)
b=$(bmestat | grep "battery cur. voltage" | awk '{print $4}' | cut -c2-4)
echo "$a.$b V"

It is in (let's call it) alpha version. I will try to improve it.

Thanks to Ancelad for that post.
