This module depends on the Network UPS Tools(nut) package. And having already configured your battery with it. It assumes that you've named your battery battery. If you've named it something else you can change it in the module itself.
Dependency installation on Arch:
pacman -S nut
Dependency installation on Debian:
apt install nut
Add the module to your list of configured py3status modules
~/.config/i3status.conf
...
order += "arch_updates"
order += "volume_status"
order += "ups_battery_status"
...
And then just restart your i3 session.
