How do I figure that out?  Via the ACPI sysctls, or some other method?

When I unplug the power:

 - hw.acpi.battery.state goes from 0 -> 1
 - hw.acpi.battery.time goes from 0 to 152
 - hw.acpi.battery.life starts to go down

Is there some tool that'll show battery info?

Also, what units are the temperature in?
