BatteryCat

BatteryCat is a small-sized software tool that provides users with a simple means of displaying their battery status and bringing up the history.

The setup process is a piece of cake, as it does not offer to download any third-party products and it does not last longer than a few moments. After you complete it, you come face to a face with a pretty plain and simple GUI, yet it is not necessarily very appealing. It consists of a tiny menu bar and several pieces of information.

It is suitable to all types of users, including those less experienced, and there are even some Help contents incorporated that you can access.

This application lets you configure the polling interval time (expressed in seconds) with just a few clicks, while the battery capacity value can also be manually inserted, so as to be sure it is correct.

The main windows enables you to view the current battery charge, as well as the maximum charge, expressed in mWh and percentage. It also displays additional information, such as if the charger is connected and if the battery is being charged.

CPU and memory usage is low at any point, which means that the computer’s performance is not going to be affected in anyway and you can run it alongside other utilities without encountering any issues. The interface is user-friendly, although not very easy on the eyes, the response time leaves a lot to be desired, while it also crashes a few times, when trying to access the settings panel.

BatteryCat is a pretty decent piece of software when it comes to monitoring your laptop’s or notebook’s battery.
