No need to unnecessary complicate things. Try something like:

using System.Management;

PowerStatus pwr = SystemInformation.PowerStatus;

String strBatteryChargingStatus;
strBatteryChargingStatus = pwr.BatteryChargeStatus.ToString();
MessageBox.Show("battery charge status : " + batterystatus);

String strBatterylife;
strBatterylife = pwr.BatteryLifePercent.ToString();
MessageBox.Show("Battery life: "+batterylife);

In this way you can get all of the battery information.
