I am trying to get information about my battery status using the following command from this answer.

upower -i /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0

But I am not getting any information about my battery. I get the following in my terminal

$ upower -i /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_BAT0
  native-path:          (null)
  power supply:         no
  updated:              Thursday 01 January 1970 05:30:00 AM IST (1531404045 seconds ago)
  has history:          no
  has statistics:       no
  unknown
    warning-level:       unknown
    icon-name:          '(null)'

How can I update my battery information, because it says

Just to make sure you have the right battery use ll freedesktop/UPower/devices to see all available to pick. – WinEunuuchs2Unix Jul 12 '18 at 17:48
@WinEunuuchs2Unix I get $ ll freedesktop/UPower/devices ls: cannot access 'freedesktop/UPower/devices': No such file or directory. What should I do? – Rahul Goswami Jul 12 '18 at 18:11
Darn phone put /org/ in front like you did before. – WinEunuuchs2Unix Jul 12 '18 at 20:00
