Once again, you're checking a directory, not a file.
So you either want "if there is a folder" instead of "if there is a file"
or you want 'if there is a file "/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/status"'

and you need to grab the actual file contents:
put url "/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/status" into tStatus
