This is a simple tool written in Bash that allows users to monitor their computer's battery status and log data to a file at specified intervals.

The script periodically reads the battery charge level and records it, along with the date and time of the reading, to a file. Importantly, the script intentionally places a load on the CPU to accelerate battery discharge, simulating real-world usage. If the battery level drops below 5%, the script automatically shuts down the computer to prevent complete battery discharge. This helps assess the performance and suitability of a newly replaced battery (OEM or replacment part) for customer delivery.

• Battery status monitoring with CPU load simulation.
• Configurable number of cores to be loaded.
• Logging the percentage battery status, date, and time to a file.
• Automatic computer shutdown when the battery level falls below 5% to prevent complete discharge.

1. Clone the repository to your computer.
2. Set the appropriate permissions for the script, e.g.

 chmod +x battery.sh.

3. Run the script.
4. The script will run in the background, monitoring the battery status, simulating CPU load, and logging data to a file.
