iBatt was almost entirely written for version 3, with a focus on a modernized graphical display and a more efficient backend. iBatt 3 uses Quartz graphics for rich animated displays, but does not use power-hungry technologies like OpenGL or Core Animation. This means that MacBooks with two graphics processors will not turn on their dedicated graphics processing chip in order to serve iBatt. In fact, iBatt will even let you know when that chip is and is not activated. iBatt 3's data logging engine is now powered by SQLite. This robust and efficient backend means that data queries are handled faster, resulting in more responsive graphing preformance.
