Description

Battery Monitor is a battery monitor for laptops. It displays the current status of the battery (charge/discharge and energy level) as well as some information about the general health of the cell.

Due to the way Battery Monitor is implemented it currently works best on linux 2.6 kernels with ACPI and that too reliably only on some acpi/bios combination (it is being worked on: the /proc file system is very inconsistent) A user-contributed patch to make it work on FreeBSD has been merged in.

Starting with version 0.4 support for APM and Linux 2.4 kernels has been implemented, this can be useful on some older or embedded devices.
