+```ts
+const {isSupported, level, charging, dischargingTime, chargingTime} = useBattery();
+```
+- **`isSupported`**_`: boolean`_ - whether browser/devise supports BatteryManager;
+- **`fetched`**_`: boolean`_ - whether battery state is fetched;
+- **`level`**_`: number`_ - representing the system's battery charge level scaled to a value between 0.0 and 1.0.
+- **`charging`**_`: boolean`_ - indicating whether or not the battery is currently being charged.
+- **`dischargingTime`**_`: number`_ - remaining time in seconds until the battery is completely discharged and the system will suspend.
+- **`chargingTime`**_`: number`_ - remaining time in seconds until the battery is fully charged, or 0 if the battery is already fully charged.
