+key represents one of the parameters of the battery such as charging state,
+battery level and battery state, hence there are three keys published by the
+Power State API. The client applications can subscribe to any or all three
+keys published, depending on the type of information the client requires.
+Each key is updated by the HWRM server whenever there has been a change in
+the hardware state of the battery level, battery state or charging state. </p> <p>Refer
