There is no direct way to do this, but you could use an API function provided by the operating system and call it from an S-function. For Windows, I found a related answer on a different forum: Monitor battery charge with Win32 API.

what about wifi signal Kaustubha??? can we get the signal status level in simulink also?? or we us API function also??

anyway, THANKS A LOT FOR THE LINK!! :)

Luhur: Sorry, missed your comment. I think you might need to hunt down an API function for querying the WiFi signal status also. :)

Using .NET may be easier than win32:

NET.addAssembly('System.Windows.Forms')
powerStatus = System.Windows.Forms.SystemInformation.PowerStatus
powerStatus.BatteryLifePercent % returns a number between 0 and 1
