Fix battery state not updating

[ton-An]

Description

The method responsible for updating the battery state only gets the actual battery info on it's first call. All subsequent calls of the method use that initial battery info. Resulting in the battery state not changing.

@ton-An this was changed because it caused problems on certain operating systems. In fact, we are likely going to remove this feature in the near future. Is this something you have been relying on heavily, or were you mostly helping to clean up?

@sestinj This feature is pretty important for my use case, as I often work on battery and frequently switch between battery and AC.

Have you tried using si.powerShellStart() and si.powerShellRelease() as mentioned in systeminformation#616? According to the maintainer, that reduced the cpu usage drastically. In addition, updating the state (lets say) only once per minute could help a lot too.

Would you be open to exploring this? I’m happy to make the changes, but I don’t have a Windows machine to test on
