Key points to note
It remains device-independent, even if you switch SD cards to another device. It also continue to monitor if the user switch profile.
The log database only adds/update a new entry only when a significant battery increment is detected.
It performs a final update upon detecting a SIGTERM or a change in the charging state. The log database follows a FILO (First-In, Last-Out) management strategy to limit its size.
Limitations
Due to the battery-friendly nature of batmon, there may be up to a 5-minute delay in the graph compared to the real battery state. It is not really noticeable.
