Battery Monitor overview

Battery Monitor is a Windows 10 sidebar gadget that helps you easily monitor your laptop battery details. Voltage, charge rate, current charge, max charge — these are just some details you can find out about your computer, thanks to Battery Monitor. For more information, the gadget shows graphics animated indicators. This visual indicator alerts the person of the current battery level of the laptop. Battery Monitor comes with sound notifications for laptop is plugged and unplugged, full battery mode, and you can establish the two battery critical levels for sound alerts. Two sound schemes are available. User-defined WAV sound files can also be used. You can also change the current power plan by one touch by selecting it from all available on the main gadget’s window. Unlike the other, the gadget shows the approximate time left before the battery is fully charged. Into the flyout window you can see additional battery characteristics that include very useful information about battery losses.
Battery Monitor only uses a small amount of memory, that is why it does not hurt your laptop. You can easily customize the interface by changing the color, background, and other elements of the gadget. There are a lot of settings, and if you want to customize everything to your liking, you will have to spend some time on it. Battery Monitor works on both 32-bit and 64-bit systems.
