Battery Utilities

[beesquee]

Does anyone know of a free battery utility I can use on my new laptop? My thinkpad had a great program that would show the battery % in the taskbar along with other cool options like conditioning the battery and other info.

Try notebook Hardware Control, has options for undervolting and more battery saving features for mobile cpu's. Also has taskbar and/or systray monitors.

NHC is great. After a little playing around I got a 30 minute increase in battery time with some under volting

Oh man, that sounds great. I'll have to check that out. My lappytop gets only about 2 hour runtime just kicking it around Winders. I'll post my results.
