Checking battery level when ACPI has problems

I am running Debian Buster (testing) / Sid on an Iball Excelance laptop (an Indian company). I initially had problems with the laptop trying to suspend and then freezing immediately after finishing booting up. These problems went away when I included the acpi=strict parameter in boot-time kernel options.
However, the problem now is that there seems to be no way to get information about the battery level. The usual /sys/class/power_supply is empty and /proc/acpi only has a button directory in it and a file called wakeup.
Is there any way around this? Can I try some other acpi parameter at boot up (acpi=off won't help and in any case blocks the i915 graphics driver, acpi=noirq did not stop the freezing problem)? Or is there some other way to find out the battery level?

You can use upower command
upower -i $(upower -e | grep 'BAT') | grep -E "state|to full|percentage"
