Put your Battery under control

MiniBatteryLogger is a Cocoa application designed to monitor your laptop battery and log all the relevant power events.

The chart view shows the graph of charge and amperage over time, with customizable colors and indicators for relevant power events. Every change in power properties is logged to file with time and date of occurrence, and it’s listed in the detailed log view.

The Battery Inspector tells you all the details about your battery: charge, capacity (actual, maximum and original), amperage, voltage, cycle count, estimated times to empty and to full charge. It also has a resettable timer to count the time spent on battery.

Share your battery data among MiniBatteryLogger users and compare your battery against the others. MiniBatteryLogger is interfaced to a shared battery data archive that can also be accessed by a Web interface.

A central point to track your battery model, evaluate wear and age, learn estimated remaining life.

You can save unlimited monitoring sessions to disk for later analysis, and manage them from the sessions browser. A nice inspector panel lets you retrieve the details of all the logged events.

The application also notifies you about cord connections and disconnections, begin and end of charge with Growl notifications. A customizable threshold lets you be informed when the battery charge decreases under a given amount.

MiniBatteryLogger requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 “Panther” or later. MiniBatteryLogger is a Universal Binary application; you can use it under both PowerPC and Intel Macs.
