acpi -i                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            ─╯

which outputs something like

Battery 0: Discharging, 84%, 04:47:22 remaining
Battery 0: design capacity 3572 mAh, last full capacity 3152 mAh = 88%

which is for a few year old Framework 13's 55 Wh battery.
