      <p>
        The Battery Status API specification defines a means for web
        developers to programmatically determine the battery status of the
        hosting device. Without knowing the battery status of a device, a web
        developer must design the web application with an assumption of
        sufficient battery level for the task at hand. This means the battery
        of a device may exhaust faster than desired because web developers are
        unable to make decisions based on the battery status. Given knowledge
        of the battery status, web developers are able to craft web content and
        applications which are power-efficient, thereby leading to improved user
        experience.
     </p>
     <p>
        The Battery Status API can be used to defer or scale back work when
        the device is not charging in or is low on battery. An archetype of an
        advanced web application, a web-based email client, may check the
        server for new email every few seconds if the device is charging,
        but do so less frequently if the device is not charging or is low on
        battery. Another example is a web-based word processor which could
        monitor the battery level and save changes before the battery runs
        out to prevent data loss.
      </p>
      <p>
        The following example shows how a web-based email client could check
        for new emails every ten seconds without knowledge of the battery status:

      <p>
        The script will always check for emails every ten seconds, even if the
        battery level is critically low and the device is not charging.
        This is an example of poor resource management.
      </p>
      <p>
        Using the <a class="idlType" href="#idl-def-BatteryManager"><code>BatteryManager</code></a> interface, the web application is, for
        example, able to throttle checking for emails if the device is low on
        battery, stop checking for emails if the battery is critically low and
        resume normal operation when the battery is charging:

        This specification defines conformance criteria that apply to a single
        product: the <dfn id="ua">user agent</dfn> that implements the
        interfaces that it contains.
      </p>
      <p>
        Implementations that use ECMAScript to implement the APIs defined in
        this specification must implement them in a manner consistent with the
        ECMAScript Bindings defined in the Web IDL specification [<cite><a href="#bib-WEBIDL" rel="biblioentry" class="bibref">WEBIDL</a></cite>],
        as this specification uses that specification and terminology.

      <p>
        Big thanks to the Mozilla WebAPI team for their invaluable feedback
        based on prototype implementations. Many thanks to the people behind
        the System Information API and Device Orientation Event specification
        for the initial inspiration. Also thanks to the nice folks bringing us
        the Page Visibility specification, which motivated the editor of this
        specification to write the introduction chapter discussing some
        real-world high value use cases that apply equally to this
        specification. Special thanks to all the participants of the Device
        APIs Working Group and others who have sent in substantial feedback
        and comments, and made the Web a better place for everyone by
        doing so.
