i3status: non-standard battery path

Anonymous

The battery info path on my Samsung Chromebook is /sys/class/power_supply/sbs-4-000b/uevent . i3status seems to require "BAT?" as the 4th member of that path as I cannot get the system to read that file, no matter what I have in the config file. I have tried all sorts of combinations. Any ideas appreciated.

This works:

battery 0 {
  path = "/sys/class/power_supply/sbs-4-000b/uevent"
  format = "%status %percentage %remaining"
}

…and path is also in the example in the i3status manpage :).
