Why not get the source for the gnome battery applet and modify the
function that gets the status?  For Debian, the gnome battery applet is
in a package called gnome-applets; it should be in a similar package for
other distros, or you could just get the source here:
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/gnome-applets/gnome-applets_2.2.2.orig.tar.gz

I've written a couple of applets in the past, but they were for gnome 1,
which isn't even remotely similar to a gnome 2 applet.  I started with a
similar applet and modified the source.
