battery meter app

[combustion]

I currently use wisbar and I dont care for the battery meter that comes with it, does anyone know of a good battery meter that will run seperately on my today screen?

[silentknight]

actually there are tons,
but one free that I know of is here:

Like SilentKnight said, there are quite a few. The ones that I have tried are Omega's Battery Pack, Pocket Backup Plus comes with one, and Pocket Facelift has one. The version that comes with Pocket Facelift, though, does not tell you how much time you should have left.

In case your still undecided here's another:
http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities...mmonitor.shtml This one has mem and battery and other
info, once again this one is free as well..

I don't trust the time estimation on any of them. I think a good battery monitor will show percentage and that is it. I think that the manner of use, application, brightness setting etc factor too much that time estimations are inaccurrate.

I do have to say that the Pocket Backup is good simply becauce it had time/mem and backup infomormation all in one today addon.

Pocket Backup Plus is my favorite. I have found it to be pretty accurate for me just because my use is fairly consistent, and I never change my brightness setting.
