 ### Configuration
 `batteryd` can be configured with a `batteryd.conf` file located at `/etc/syscshee/batteryd.conf`
 
-##### Example configuration
-An example of a `batteryd.conf` file:
+An example can be found in [batteryd.conf.example](batteryd.conf.example)
 
-```
-# Example batteryd.conf file
-# TODO: License
-#
-# There are three available battery levels: HALF, LOW, CRITICAL and their percentage value can be configured
-# The actions can be as follows:
-# - "notify": sends a notification to the user and informs them about the battery percentage via notify-send
-# - "sleep": suspends system to RAM, waits for a configured amount of time.
-# - "shutdown": gracefully shuts down the system, waits for a configured amount of time.
-# You can assign more actions to a battery level, separated by commas (no trailing comma and whitespace after comma allowed)
-# The daemon will execute the actions in the order they are specified so "shutdown,notify" will not make any sense
-# if WAIT_TIME_SHUTDOWN is set to 0
