Hm....kpowersave allows you to set the levels and actions what to do...but I
assume thats not what you are looking for.

Maybe the settings in /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0 can give you a hint?

axel@z60m:~> cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state
present:                 yes
capacity state:          ok
charging state:          charged
present rate:            0 mW
remaining capacity:      48250 mWh
present voltage:         12500 mV

axel@z60m:~> cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/alarm
alarm:                   5790 mWh

Best,
Axel
