Get the Battery status on windows 8

问题:

I searched over the Internet and the only thing that I found a little bit helpful was the way to get Battery status on Windows Phone 8. But I want it on Windows 8 (RT).

Can anyone help me out?

According to everything that I can find, we do not have access to the Power API in WinRT, it is only available for a desktop application. See this MSDN Forum article

From above link:

Power Management Functions apply to "desktop app only".

No equivalent for the Power APIs in Metro style app. Please check Alternatives to Windows APIs in Metro style apps
