Having been a Mac OSX user now for some years I appreciate the simplicity of CoconutBattery (http://www.coconut-flavour.com/), which shows you all relevant information of the battery of your laptop (iBook, PowerBook, MacBook, ...) and has one outstanding feature: you can save the current health state of the laptop's battery and thus monitor the long term development (degradation) of the battery. Since I have to work in Windows at work :-( I was looking for a similar tool in the MS world. You can find a number of battery monitoring programs for MS Windows, which give you a plethora of (useless) information - or do not work at all. Finally I decided to make one of my own (the world waited for that so badly!). And here it is.
Since I did not want to restrict it to Windows only I made it a GTK application, which is cross platform portable. I created the low level data gathering functions for both Windows and Linux. You are very welcome to add additional ports (e.g. BSD or whatever).

A ideia é boa, mas o programa instala mas não abre. "O ponto de entrada do procedimento libintl_setlocal não pôde ser localizado na biblioteca de vínculo dinâmico C:\Program Files(x86)\BatteryCat\batterycat.exe"

I gave it 1-star because it won't run. I get this dialog "The procedure entry point libintl_setlocal could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\Program Files(x86)\BatteryCat\batterycat.exe" I'm a retired software engineer from NASA and have used GTK and all of its supporting libraries. It's a big pain to get right sometimes. I suspect the machine that you guy's test on already has the environment setup correctly, so you don't experience this issue. I would suggest getting a clean environment (laptop) and then try the installation.

Simple and best. I love this software!

A LONG TERM BATTERY DEGRADATION MONITORING IS A KILLER FEATURE. THANK YOU A LOT.

Very nice!
