    <title>Description</title>

    <para>This service checks the presence of an external power supply and the battery level during the early
    boot stage to determine whether there is sufficient power to carry on with the booting process.</para>

    <para><command>systemd-battery-check</command> returns success if the device is connected to an AC power
    source or if the battery charge is greater than 5%. It returns failure otherwise.</para>
  </refsect1>

  <refsect1>
    <title>Options</title>

    <para>The following options are understood by <command>systemd-battery-check</command>:</para>

    <variablelist>
      <xi:include href="standard-options.xml" xpointer="help" />
      <xi:include href="standard-options.xml" xpointer="version" />
    </variablelist>

  <refsect1>
    <title>Exit status</title>

    <para>
      On success (running on AC power or battery capacity greater than 5%), 0 is returned, a non-zero failure
      code otherwise.
    </para>
  </refsect1>

    <title>Kernel Command Line</title>

    <para>The following variables are understood:</para>

    <variablelist class='kernel-commandline-options'>

        <term><varname>systemd.battery-check=<replaceable>BOOL</replaceable></varname></term>

        <listitem>
          <para>Takes a boolean. If specified with false, <command>systemd-battery-check</command> command
          will return immediately with exit status 0 without checking battery capacity and AC power
          existence, and the service <filename>systemd-battery-check.service</filename> will succeed. This
          may be useful when the command wrongly detects and reports battery capacity percentage or AC power
          existence, or when you want to boot the system forcibly.</para>
