Show battery level when connected via usb cable #8

This feature would be useful for controllers with play&charge rechargable batteries. Indeed, one would know when the battery is fully charged

That's (according to the official XInput documentation) not possible. as you can see here battery level is only reported for "wireless" controllers. I just tried it out by disabling the "wired" state check in the code, and an XBOne controller connected via USB always reported a full battery pack even though I put in one that was reported as medium on another controller.
