This is a very complicated thing that you're attempting to track.
What exactly is "battery status"?
You'll find that the answer to that question is not trivial, and the
complete answer is never
98%, 96%, 94%, 91%, 89%, 5%, and cannot be described by a single integer.
The software and circuitry you have been given is not good enough to
maximize your
battery's life, much less, accurately measure the "battery status".
