    New version of the beloved battery bar build 59. The site says the latest version is build 39, but if you mouse over your battery bar, it says build 59. Typo on the site? Anyway, if you want to DL it, click here.

    Not sure on the changes of this build. No change log on the site.

    If you don't know what battery bar is, here is some features:

    Vista style - The toolbar is using the same look and feel as the Vista taskbar buttons
    Statistical time prediction - BatteryBar monitors your battery and keeps a history of how long it takes for your battery to charge and discharges. That information is used to more accurately predict the life of your battery
    Translations - BatteryBar fully or partially supports 13 languages. Anyone may volunteer to translate BatteryBar to additional languages
    Detailed Battery Info - BatteryBar is now capable of collecting detailed information about your battery, including max capacity (mW), current capacity (mW), charge rate (mW), discharge rate (mW), and more.
    Automatic Update - BatteryBar will check for new versions at startup and automatically download the new version

    i'd like it to have a similar popup-window style like the other popups (sound, network), else it's great. but i don't notice any difference with the new version :)

    There is a changelog on the site. It's on the far right, next to "Release Notes".

    Here is a link

    I got a popup from the app last night announcing that. Installed it right away. So far, so good.

    Yup. Google Analytics is a great tool to see visitors to the site are coming from. I try to participate as much as I can.

    (P.S. If you Google my nick you'll find out a lot more interesting information about me)
