Battery Meters

#1 Tue, 11 Oct 2011 - 17:25 68kMLA

I really dislike the floating Battery DA so I've been looking unsuccessfully for a battery meter menu item for system 7 to go on my PowerBook 100. There was one I remember that had several (six?) different visualizations for battery level - speedometer, clock, bar, etc. Anyone know which one I'm thinking of?

Any suggestions for decent battery level meters?

There were LOTS of battery level meters, but the only decent one I've found is an analog multimeter!

I was going to hack an analog voltmeter into the left palm rest of my Duo TrackBall UPgradeded 190c.

Seriously, I'll see if I can get one of my PB 100's to boot and I'll let you know what I had in mine.

It might have been part of the Gauge Series now that I think about it. :?:

I think it was by the guy who did Battery Amnesia. I'll check my 270c in a bit and get back to you.

EDIT- Might this be it? http://www.kezer.net/shareware/mybattery/

Not the one I'm thinking of but it looks neat.

I'm not sure if it would have these features, but I remember a package called Power To Go, published by Claris Clear Choice.

Trash, did you replace the trackpad on your 190 with a trackball? I'd love to see pics!

I use MyBattery on my 1400. Works pretty well.

Power To Go

Hmm, I think that may have been what it was. I'll have to see if I can find it someplace.

I've found a few other meters to check out at umich archive.
