No, it doesn't. But it is enough to query "info" once:
"state" contains:
present: yes
capacity state: ok
charging state: unknown
present rate: unknown
remaining capacity: 57420 mWh
present voltage: 16758 mV
"info" contains (only values useful for monitoring listed here):
design capacity: 57420 mWh
last full capacity: 57420 mWh
battery technology: rechargeable
design voltage: 14800 mV
design capacity warning: 3000 mWh
design capacity low: 1000 mWh
capacity granularity 1: 200 mWh
capacity granularity 2: 200 mWh
None of which is expected to change during useage of the battery.
So querying once is enough: all variable values are in "state".
Greetings,
Erich
