+The default value for the `charging_symbol` and `discharging_symbol` option is respectively the value of `battery`'s `charging_symbol` and `discharging_symbol` option.

 #### Options
 
 The `display` option is an array of the following table.
 
-| Option      | Description                                     |
-| ----------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
-| `threshold` | The upper bound for the display option.         |
-| `style`     | The style used if the display option is in use. |

+| `charging_symbol`    | `-`        | Optional symbol displayed if display option is in use, defaults to battery's `charging_symbol` option. |
+| `discharging_symbol` | `-`        | Optional symbol displayed if display option is in use, defaults to battery's `discharging_symbol` option. |
 
 #### Example
 
 ```toml
-[[battery.display]]  # "bold red" style when capacity is between 0% and 10%
+[[battery.display]]  # "bold red" style and discharging_symbol when capacity is between 0% and 10%

+[[battery.display]]  # "bold yellow" style and 💦 symbol when capacity is between 10% and 30%
 threshold = 30
