In these cases try to do 'appname --help' or 'man appname' in a terminal or find the homepage. Anyway, you can create the file yourself, or let conky create a default conkyrc to get you going:
conky -C > ~/.conkyrc
If you run just 'conky' it will first look for ~/.conkyrc, then the conkyrc that comes with the package. You can specify any other rc with:
conky -c /path/to/config
Please post your config so we can have a look. At least you'll need a high number for text_buffer_size. Also I wonder why you don't create something like a terminal widget on your desktop. Gnome-terminal, roxterm, vte all support true transparancy, the latter two being very lightweight; configure the window manager to forget about the window decoration; configure the terminal settings to not show the menubar and that would be about it.
is there a script i can use or a variable that will tell me how much charge time i have on my battery?

You can use ${battery} or ${battery_percent} ${battery_time}, etc.
