SlimBatteryMonitor is a replacement power gauge for Apple's Mac OS X that monitors both laptop batteries and many UPS batteries. Multiple-battery systems (e.g. older powerbooks) are supported as well. A graphical icon shows the power remaining, and can be accompanied by a text description (battery charge in percent, or time remaining). Colours can indicate whether the system is fully charged, charging or on battery.
Best of all, you can choose different display options for each battery state (fully charged, charging or on battery). You may wish to see the time remaining while on battery, for example, but show only the icon during charging, and hide SlimBatteryMonitor entirely when batteries are fully charged.
SlimBatteryMonitor operates as a background application, so it won't use up a space in your dock.
New in version 1.3:Improved the memory footprint by correcting a minor memory leak associated with the system's update of battery status.
Tiger compatible.
Requirements: OS X 10.2
