Hi Yuri Kobets,

the first impression on this version is that if I unplug the Power, the time remaining have 6h00 but it change to 3h00, after 5h00, after 6h00, sometimes 7h00...

And I don't do nothing in the computer so the CPU level is about 0-5%...

Regards

This looks good, after unplugging the power, the time is suppressed until the second update, so it only shows proper values now!

Only in the hint popup, a time like "2:07" is displayed as "2:7"...

Vampiric_crow:
It is normal that the 'time remaining' value fluctuates a bit after unplugging the power, but not within a range of 4 hours. What are the times you see with Windows' own power utility?

Typo in balloon text: 'Estimated time of cha[r]ging'

Cool feature and seems to work fine! I assume that's not supported by the hardware, right? You calculate the charge rate yourself, and extrapolate to the maximum charge capacity?

Maybe you could do some averaging, or measure over larger periods of time, in order to reduce the big variations: within one minute it can display values varying from 2 hours to 15 hours... However consider this a low-priority request Wink

Hi Dracula,

In my Windows Power utility, it's only show the % remaining...

OK, I'll try to do something to decrease variations. This will solve the problem of VaMPiRiC_CRoW. When hardware does not support time on batteries BM try to calculate it.
