// BackupBatteryListToJson.cs
//
// Snapshots Battery Info (Win32_Battery) to a timestamped JSON file.
//
// Requires the System.Management package:
//   dotnet new console -o BackupBattery
//   dotnet add package System.Management
//   (replace the generated Program.cs with this file, then dotnet run)
