You can Try This Code

Dim power As SystemInformation.PowerStatus = SystemInformation.PowerStatus
Dim percent As Single = power.BatteryLifePercent
MsgBox("Percent battery life remaining: " & percent * 100)

Check out the SystemInformation class, more specific, the PowerStatus property (which returns an instance of the PowerStatus class).

Following code will give you the current battery information:

Dim powerstatus As PowerStatus = SystemInformation.PowerStatus

' Gets the current battery charge status.
MessageBox.Show("BatteryChargeStatus : " & powerstatus.BatteryChargeStatus)

' Gets the reported full charge lifetime of the primary battery power source in seconds.
MessageBox.Show("BatteryFullLifetime : " & powerstatus.BatteryFullLifetime)

' Gets the approximate amount of full battery charge remaining.
MessageBox.Show("BatteryLifePercent : " & powerstatus.BatteryLifePercent)

' Gets the approximate number of seconds of battery time remaining.
MessageBox.Show("BatteryLifeRemaining : " & powerstatus.BatteryLifeRemaining)

' Gets the current system power status.
MessageBox.Show("PowerLineStatus : " & powerstatus.PowerLineStatus)
