TRANSLATE

Dear users. Some time ago, accuweather.com stopped providing data in XML format for the gadget. All of your gadgets are showing an Internet connection error. I'm working on it. Unfortunately, with constant air raids and missile strikes on my city (I live in Ukraine), the work is proceeding extremely slowly and I have no confidence that it will ever be completed. Thanks for understanding.

Can anybody help me to translate few my gadgets to other languages (Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, etc.)? If you’re that person, please call me using the contact form.

Battery Monitor overview

Version 10.3 released at 02/17/2024

Battery Monitor is a Windows 10 sidebar gadget that allows you to easily monitor your laptop’s battery details. You can access information such as voltage, charge rate, current charge, and max charge. Thanks to Battery Monitor, you can keep track of various aspects of your computer’s battery performance. Additionally, the gadget provides animated graphics as visual indicators to keep you informed about your laptop’s current battery level.

Battery Monitor also includes sound notifications for when your laptop is plugged in or unplugged, enters full battery mode, and allows you to set up sound alerts for two different battery critical levels. Two sound schemes are available, and you can even use your own custom WAV sound files.

You can conveniently change your laptop’s power plan with a single touch by selecting it from the options available in the main gadget’s window. Unlike some other gadgets, this one shows an estimate of the time remaining before the battery is fully charged. In the flyout window, you can find additional battery characteristics that provide useful information about battery losses.

One of the key benefits of Battery Monitor is its minimal memory usage, ensuring that it doesn’t impact your laptop’s performance. You can also customize the gadget’s interface by changing the color, background, and other elements to suit your preferences. With numerous settings to choose from, you can tailor the gadget to your liking. Battery Monitor is compatible with both 32-bit and 64-bit systems.
