BatteryMon

Every laptop on the market runs on batteries and their charge time depends on the number of cells included inside the battery but it also depends on the software power settings. The Windows operating system offers little information regarding a laptop's battery, its charge status, currently used power and so on. This is why one should install a specialized application for this purpose. BatteryMon can really help in this case.

This simple Windows program allows anyone to monitor the battery level of a laptop in real time and see how much power it's being consumed. After installing and launching the application, the user will be presented with a graphical interface, in which one will only need to click on the Start button. At this point, the monitoring process will begin and the battery level, capacity, capacity drop and charge rate will be displayed in real time.

Having all this information, it's easy to tell whether the battery discharges faster than it should and needs replacing or works properly. Besides displaying all this information, BatteryMon can also display complete information regarding the battery, like the manufacturer, type and other related information. What's more, complete laptop hardware information can be displayed.

The user can view a log regarding the program's functionality at any moment, thus being able to see if the battery monitoring process works properly. By accessing the options section, the user will be able to configure notifications to be sent by email when a certain battery characteristic is exceeded.
