You will need a Nerd Font for the symbol to show correctly.
The battery icon will go red/yellow/green to show the battery level. It will go blue when charging, and change to a power plug when fully charged and plugged in.
The battery icon will not show up unless the session name is fullscreen
or remote
, as if it is not, it suggests you should be able to see the battery status in the status bar. (See my tmux configuration for info about how I use session names.)
