When working mobile if you’re like me one of the most important pieces of information about your mobile computer is how much battery life you have remaining. I have long enjoyed a taskbar toolbar that Lenovo uses that puts an easy-to-see battery graphic that lets you keep tabs on the battery all the time.
Today’s Freeware of the Moment is a BatteryBar that does the same thing and works on any Windows PC. There is a full-featured free version that shows the remaining battery life in the taskbar and full information about the battery when you hover over the graphic. There is also a Pro version for $7.50 that supports some extra stuff like themes but I have not found a need to go that route.
BatteryBar is a great addition to the mobile computer toolkit and has worked flawlessly for me on Windows XP, Vista and even Windows 7. Give it a try and you’ll see how useful this simple little tool can be.
