[Improvement] Display Battery SoC (%) in Live View

What problem are you trying to solve?

The live battery node currently only shows power flow (kW).
When using Helios on a wall-mounted dashboard, you cannot see the battery's state of charge (%) at a glance without interaction.

Proposed solution

Add an optional card setting to always show the battery SoC next to the live battery kW

Hi @hitmax117,

I actually removed the separate percentage display on purpose, to save space. But the level did not go away: the battery icon shows it, it changes every 10%. I am not sure you had noticed it :) It frees up a pill, and space really is the scarcest resource on this card.

Adding an option to show the percentage again is not that simple. Handling it generically gets complicated quickly, because Helios supports multiple batteries, and a single percentage across several of them raises quite a few problems.

As I mentioned on another issue, I am planning to make the chip handling dynamic in 2026.10.0, so this one will unfortunately have to wait for that update.

Thanks for your feedback !

Cheers ;)
