Can I add the android battery level information to my location before sending data to firebase?

Question

I am creating an android gps tracking application and so far have my location uploaded to firebase using the Location Class:

DatabaseReference ref = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference(path);
                    Location location = locationResult.getLastLocation();
                    if (location != null) {
                        //Save the location data to the database//
                        ref.setValue(location);
                        Log.d(TAG, "Location sent");
                    }

I can also get the battery level:

public float getBatteryLevel(){
        Intent batteryIntent = registerReceiver(null, new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED));
        int level = batteryIntent.getIntExtra(BatteryManager.EXTRA_LEVEL, -1);
        int scale = batteryIntent.getIntExtra(BatteryManager.EXTRA_SCALE, -1);
        if(level == -1 || scale == -1){
            return 50.0f;
        }
        return ((float)level/(float)scale) * 100.0f;
    }

What I would like to do is add the battery level field to the location so it is sent to firebase as one. Can I extend the 'Location' class to include a 'Battery' field and a method to update this field before sending?

As DatabaseReference.set(Object), you can create your custom object (getter,setter) that contains location data and battery data. After that you can set the value to Firebase.
