    OK, I have been battling the different options for battery management software. I think I'll leave it up to the board.


    Which battery management program do you use and more importantly why?

    RDTigger, I hope this answer your PM.

    I am using RMClock now because it's less resource-hungry than NHC, and you don't have to install .NET 2.0 as required in NHC. RMClock doesn't display the battery remaining time in systray nor the percentage.

    I think NHC works better and looks cooler, but RMClock is less resource-hungry. Take your pick, both are excellent choices.
