    I want to see how long does my battery last during different things that I do on my notebook. Is there a tool that could monitor battery life for a comparison and possibly give the output in graphical manner so I could see when did the battery drained the most.......

    Doesnt Vista have one?

    If youre looking for another, i believe right mark has one, and so does notebook hardware control; just google them.

    Yeah RMclock (right mark) can show the battery statics and even the capacity! But I noticed it has a tendency to reset my power settings (like monitor off in 10 minutes rather than default etc)

    I m sorry if I am missing on this one, but where in Vista can I find it?? I looked up under available gadgets also, but couldnt see an appropriate gadget monitoring and plotting battery life.
    Thanks..
