[Request for Script] - Help a script newb? Battery Status output to LCD

So with the new update I started thinking about all the various stuff I want to display in my command center now...

Unfortunately, I SUCK at programming. BADLY. I've tried and tried and tried and tried and I just suck.


Can someone post example code to do the following:

Search the grid for all Battery Blocks
Output the status to the LCD panel, preferably in a format like:

NAME Charge% Status

Battery 1 100% Recharge
Battery 2 48% Discharging
Battery 3 10% OFF


I know you can color the background and text of an entire LCD block, but can you do specific Text on the same block?


NAME Charge% Status

Battery 1 100% Recharge
Battery 2 48% Discharging
Battery 3 10% OFF

 

bueller ... bueller ... bueller ... bueller?

 

Here is a battery status display.

name the target LCD "Battery Status"
