Publisher's Description
From Nistech:
With Battery Bar you won't ever have to guess how long your laptop's battery will last. Battery Bar always shows you exactly how much time your laptop's battery will run. Battery Bar uses the most accurate time prediction algorithm on the market today. It also displays the current percentage of battery power left. Battery Bar is intelligent, the more you use Battery Bar the more accurate it gets. Battery Bar continuously displays status icons so that you can always tell if your battery is on AC, charging, battery power, or if your battery is low. Battery Bar will also let you specify a battery percentage level that when reached Battery Bar will shut down the computer. Battery Bar has the ability to run on top of all other programs so that it is always visible. Battery Bar is small so that you have plenty of screen space for other programs.

"Not so good on my Dell 1525 with Win7 x64 bit."
Version: Battery Bar 1.10 build 145
Pros
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Cons

Summary
Probably not the fault of the app. My Dell has a few problems with Win7 x64, esp battery condition and power controls: that's why I was trying BatteryBar...

"certainly not worth 10 dollars"
Version: Battery Bar 1.10 build 145
Pros
very clear presented, shows exactly how much time your battery has left, automatically turns off the monitor and hard drive if the comp is not in use for a certain period of time
Cons
battery life not accurate,i know my laptop has around 3:30 hour after full charge yet it shows only 2:30
when i change the background brightness,the battery life won't change, which doesn't make sense to me
turns off when it THINKS the battery is lowSummary
it's a nice little program yet it's not accurate, certainly not worth to pay $10

"Works pretty well..."
Version: Battery Bar 1.10 build 145
Summary
While not offering a great deal more than the basic Windows battery indicator, it does provide battery status at a glance - provided you are viewing the desktop. After moving from an IBM laptop to a Dell, I found myself missing the IBM's taskbar battery indicator. This feature is still missing from BatteryBar, since you can only view battery level while viewing the desktop, but it is better than the tiny taskbar icon that Windows uses. On my laptop, especially when using 2 batteries, the recharging timers and discharge timers are innacurate and I wish I were able to disable them. Overall, BatteryBar does what it says and I recommend it.
