  34
  35     <para>This service checks the presence of an external power supply and the battery level during the early
  36     boot stage to determine whether there is sufficient power to carry on with the booting process.</para>
  37
  38     <para><command>systemd-battery-check</command> returns success if the device is connected to an AC power
  39     source or if the battery charge is greater than 5%. It returns failure otherwise.</para>

  57       On success (running on AC power or battery capacity greater than 5%), 0 is returned, a non-zero failure
  58       code otherwise.

  72           <para>Takes a boolean. If specified with false, <command>systemd-battery-check</command> command
  73           will return immediately with exit status 0 without checking battery capacity and AC power
  74           existence, and the service <filename>systemd-battery-check.service</filename> will succeed. This
  75           may be useful when the command wrongly detects and reports battery capacity percentage or AC power
  76           existence, or when you want to boot the system forcibly.</para>
