Ahh, I hate to interrupt your...er...conversation, but I did run across this script a few days ago:
http://homepage.mac.com/jonn8/as/html/Battery_Info.html
It did not work on my MBP, however. At its core is a call to ioreg, which did not seem to be returning the expected info. The requirements did list Powerbooks and iBooks, but not MBPs, so it will probably work for you.

Hope this helps... Now you can get back to talking to, um, each other... :D

Thanks. I don't have to talk to myself now. :p
