How to get the iStat Menus 6 battery icon to display only when the battery is discharging using Bartender 4 (macOS 11 Big Sur):

This simple command returns 0 (false) if the MacBook is on AC power, and 1 (true) if the MacBook is on battery power.

Add a "show for update" trigger for the iStat Menus 6 battery icon in Bartender 4;
Select "Show when: script returns true" as the trigger condition;
Paste the command in the shell script field;
pmset -g batt | grep -c "Now drawing from 'Battery Power'"
Set "run script every: 15 Seconds" and "show for: While comparison is true";
