I.e. only the amount of left RAM is displayed as this is - in my point of view - the most important information we like to know most of the times.

 # Usage 
 Via the instance id you can choose:
+- `instance=short` in every module provides even shorter output without units
 - `instance=swap` in the module `ram` to show swap usage
 - `instance=1` in the module `battery` to show the status of BAT1 of you have more than one battery attached to your device.
