`isPlugged`	Boolean	Indicates whether the device is plugged in

batterystatus event

Fires when the battery charge percentage changes by at least 1 percent, or when the device is plugged in or unplugged. Returns an object containing battery status.

Quirks: Android

The Android implementations are greedy and prolonged use will drain the device's battery.

function onBatteryLow(status) {

}
