Battery Info

BatteryInfo is a simple application that will tell you about the notebook's battery. I created this utility myself to have an easy way of tracking battery wear, but on the way it also picked up some other features.

Battery Info

I have also blogged about battery charging thresholds and how these contribute to battery wear on my blog. While this utility will not let you set the charging thresholds, it will display useful battery information.

While my blog post deals with ThinkPads, this utility will actually work with any notebook, regardless of brand.
