I would like to get the number of recharge cycles using bash (terminal commands). I understand the following command will display all of the battery data, but I want the cycle count on its own
ioreg -l -w0 |grep Capacity
I use the following command to get the battery percentage, so I imagine it can be modified slightly to get the cycle count instead;
ioreg -l | awk '$3~/Capacity/{c[$3]=$5}END{OFMT="%.3f";max=c["\"MaxCapacity\""];print(max>0?100*c["\"CurrentCapacity\""]/max:"?")}'
I'm new to bash, so I'm not completely sure how that code works, or how I'd adapt it for my needs.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
