    Why pay $9.95 for a tiny program that does exactly the same as Windows Vista and 7?
    Just install the real thing!

    (Or Ubuntu, but I cant get my digitizer aligned on that...)

    It has a very accurate meter + shows battery wear%
    I have been using it for a few years now
    Try out the free version

    Hmm... it doesnt like 2 batteries much... Its only showing the runtime for the MP battery, not like NHC which combines both batteries :)

    I have been using BattStat For over a year.
    It gives stats on both batteries, CPU temp and hard drive temp.
    And you can't beat the the price,,,, It's Free

    I shelled out a whopping 2.50 but I dont know if I will use it since I use notebook hardware control since I can mess with clock speeds and stuff like that.

    I agree that it doesnt do much more than vista or 7 but I agree with Tomcat that it does measure the wear % very accurately, I've been using for a while now also

    I got it for $5.50, I like it better than the Windows 7 battery monitor, it does show wear on both batteries and has a customisible display which Windows does not have.
