Only Battman Can Do

What other battery utils made for iOS hasn’t done (As of 9th Sun Mar 2025 UTC+0)

• [x] Complete NotChargingReason decoding (see not_charging_reason.h)
• [x] Texas Instruments Impedance Track™ information retrieving
• [x] Real-time charging current/voltage reading
• [x] Running perfectly when in Xcode Simulator (Other people uses IOPS in their app so not working in Sims)
• [x] Smart Charging (Optimized Battery Charging) communication
• [x] Low Power Mode behavior control
• [x] Detailed information for attached MagSafe Accessories
• [x] Detailed information for attached Lightning Cables & Accessories
• [x] Read all hardware temperature sensors

Requirements

• Jailbroken or install with TrollStore
• iOS 12+ / macOS 11+ (backports welcomed)
• arm64 (A7+ theoretically / M1+)
• Gettext libintl (Optional, for localizations)
• GTK+ 3 (Optional, for running under GTK+ based WM)

Download

Check latest Release for a prebuilt package.

Or, if you wish to build it by yourself:

# On macOS, install Xcode and directly build in it
On Linux or BSD, make sure a LLVM cross toolchain and iPhoneOS.sdk is prepared, modify Battman/Makefile if needed
On iOS, when you using Torrekie/Comdartiwerk as bootstrap
apt install git odcctools bash clang make sed grep ld64 ldid libintl-dev iphoneos.sdk
git clone https://github.com/Torrekie/Battman
cd Battman
If Targeting iOS 12 or ealier, download SF-Pro-Display-Regular.otf somewhere, and put it under Battman/
wget  -O Battman/SF-Pro-Display-Regular.otf
make -C Battman all
Produced Battman.ipa will under $(CWD)/Battman/build/Battman.ipa

Known Issues

• Battman is not actually integrated with hardware when running under devices with A7 to A10, since there has no AppleSMC, instead they uses AppleHPM which we cannot test.

Tested Devices

• iPhone 12 Series (D52)
• iPad Pro 2021 3th Gen (J51)
• iPhone XR
• iPad Air 2

Please file issues if Battman not working correctly on your device
