Both of these are covered in the reviews section, and I bought the BatteryBar app. Works as advertized w/ no complaints.
.

Title bar not included.

How about Pocketfacelift + Battery Pack 2003, thats what I have, pocket facelift does so much more then tell the battery power that its not really in the same catagory, in fact if all you want is bettery info get batery packs, if you want full screen themes, more control over the today screen, the best task switcher (IMHO), a nicer today app launcher and a descent battery monitor get facelift.

If I had to choose because of costs or something, I'd get facelift first, then battery pack 2nd.

This is a older version of Facelift you can see the battery meter:


This is a newer version of facelift but with battery pack also:


laterz

the Battery Pack 2003 seems to be more than just a battery level meter? The Cleanup utility, the close program and the compact program bar seem to be very good features? How about Facelift?

I saw both reviews here, but 10/10 for products that seem similar complicate my choice!

youre just gonna have to try them both out but I say facelift, well I say both but facelift first.

All I use battery meter for is, uh the battery meter, the other stuff is irrelevant especially if youre gonna get facelift. facelift has the ability to show large or small icons, center or not center them, have as many rows as you want, did you read about what else I said facelift can do?!

What I like about BattPack is the ability to keep track of how many hrs/minutes have elapsed since last charge.... altho the 'time remaining' is questionable -- anyone got an accurate reading for that?

Does facelift support that time remaining feature? Cuz its not listed in its feature list.

it seems that PockeLift offers great customization tools, but it lacks the Cleanup feature that Battery Pack has... I'm looking forward to see if there is not another app that could do the trick that PocketLift miss

thsoe cleanup programs are pretty useless to tell you the truth, it shouldnt even be a factor in the decision, but go for it already.

I use battery pack 2003 and the &quot;FREE&quot; WISBAR and it seems to use less memory than Facelift. Plus Battery Pack 2003 is only 9.99 at Handango and there are a TON of postitive testimonials on Handango about it.

My 2 cents
