Try this:
import psutil
battery = psutil.sensors_battery()
plugged = battery.power_plugged
percent = str(battery.percent)
plugged = "Plugged In" if plugged else "Not Plugged In"
print(percent+'% | '+plugged)

Why are you parsing the string when the object has those attributes ? You just need `battery.percent` and `battery.power_plugged`. – Mad Physicist Aug 11 '17 at 13:33
