+        The Battery Status API specification defines a means for web
+        developers to programmatically determine the battery status of the
+        hosting device. Without knowing the battery status of a device, a web
+        developer must design the web application with an assumption of
+        sufficient battery level for the task at hand. This means the battery
+        of a device may exhaust faster than desired because web developers are
+        unable to make decisions based on the battery status. Given knowledge
+        of the battery status, web developers are able to craft web content and
+        applications which are power-efficient, thereby leading to improved
+        user experience.
+     </p>
+     <p>
+        The Battery Status API can be used to defer or scale back work when
+        the device is not charging in or is low on battery. An archetype of an
+        advanced web application, a web-based email client, may check the
+        server for new email every few seconds if the device is charging,
+        but do so less frequently if the device is not charging or is low on
+        battery. Another example is a web-based word processor which could
+        monitor the battery level and save changes before the battery runs
+        out to prevent data loss.
+      </p>
+      <p>
+        The following example shows how a web-based email client could check
+        for new emails every ten seconds without knowledge of the battery
+        status:

+        The script will always check for emails every ten seconds, even if the
+        battery level is critically low and the device is not charging.
+        This is an example of poor resource management.
+      </p>
+      <p>
+        Using the <a class="idlType" href="#idl-def-BatteryManager"><code>BatteryManager</code></a> interface, the web application is, for
+        example, able to throttle checking for emails if the device is low on
+        battery, stop checking for emails if the battery is critically low and
+        resume normal operation when the battery is charging:
