You can find information on my terminal configuration here

  "BatteryPercentCombined" 
  "HeadsetBattery" 
  "BatteryPercentSingle" 
  "BatteryPercentCase" 
  "BatteryPercentLeft" 
  "BatteryPercentRight"
)

BT_DEFAULTS=$(defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Bluetooth)

if [[ "${CONNECTED}" ]]; then
  for info in "${BATTERY_INFO[@]}"; do
    declare -x "${info}"="$(awk -v pat="${info}" '$0~pat{gsub (";",""); print $3 }'<<<"${BT_DATA}")"
    [[ ! -z "${!info}" ]] && OUTPUT="${OUTPUT} $(awk '/BatteryPercent/{print substr($0,15)": "}'<<<"${info}")${!info}%"
  done
   printf "%s\\n" "${AIRPOD_ICON} ${OUTPUT}"
else
  printf "%s Not Connected\\n" "${OUTPUT}"
fi

exit 0

Running the script returns "Not connected", although my Airpods Max are connected. Is this no longer working?

Same problem with AirPods 2

The script here doesn't work for me, but this command does:

system_profiler SPBluetoothDataType 2>/dev/null | grep -o "Left Battery Level: [0-9]*%" | grep -o "[0-9]*%"
