Thanks Schmoove for this app. I'm using it now on my laptop. Its very nice and straight to the point without much crap :)

But I have question, the charging "state" doesn't seem to be working. The icon doesn't change when I stick in my AC power and it doesn't show an estimated charge time. Is there suppose to be somethign like that?

I can't get it to even install on my computer. The download doesn't work. Is there another link to download it?

:::Edit:::

I re-downloaded the link and it works fine! Nice app- great job man! It only takes up 7,500 kbs on my system. That's less than AVG, and a third of internet explorer!

hi,

for my own fun, and because there are some things I dislike about Battery Monitor.net, I'm working on a non .net rewrite (I think I'm gonna call it Battery Monitor.not :p )

It's nearly finished, so if ppl are interrested, and the original author doesn't have any problems with it, I'm willing to release it publicly

absolutely love the app, just what i was looking for when i realised my laptop wouldnt display the time remaining on the battery and only the percentage :)

its saying i have 2:41 remaining ..... i dont think ive ever had that long out of the battery before, so i guess its still calibrating :)

great app and i love it.

thank you :)

oh and for anyone wondering, its using 2.3mb of memory here :)

The best way to calibrate it is to load your battery up to 100% and then pull out the power supply.

Then just let the laptop run on the battery and plug in the power supply when the battery reaches around 15% or so.

Reported values should then be fairly accurate.

Well its quite accurate and the graphics schemes too are quite good. but even the default Power Meter in WIndows XP is quite accurate with the percentages and time remaining. The memory footprint variation is something thats bothering me. The proggy was utilizing ~19MB for some strange reasons. Although it showed the accurate time remaining which is close to what i get in actual, but 20 MB of system memory is too much. Quite a nice software. but I wonder can the yahoo widget engine be configured to display the time remaining instead of the percentage.

My own laptop doesn't show the remaining time, only the remaining percentage.

I wrote this program just for that. It calculates the remaining time even on laptops that DON'T support it.

And the 20 mb.... well what can I do, it comes from the .NET framework.

It's not actually using 20mb, just reserving it. If another app requests that memory, the app will release it accordingly.

Does anyone have a copy or an alternate download location for the latest version? The backup copy I had was on a disk that has just eaten itself and it would be a shame not to be able to use it again.

Not to worry, I didn't think to check archive.org earlier. I've now managed to grab a copy from there :)

    • Seems like Neowin has transitioned into being simps for the white house. I can't find a review for the last UFC games that came out.
