Description

Use the wfBatStat utility to monitor the battery of your notebook. The program quickly and unobtrusively records and displays battery life in minutes instead of percentages (as Windows does). The power consumption of your battery is monitored by wfBatStat and the consumption data is stored in the Windows Registry. Therefore, the longer and more often you run wfBatStat, the more accurate it will calculate the remaining battery life in real minutes.

Note: User settings can be reset with wfRegClean, a wfTool which is installed along with wfBatStat. See the wfRegClean page for more information.

Features / Uses

• monitors, stores, calculates and estimates actual battery life

Running

The first time you run wfBatStat on your machine, no information is yet available on your particular battery. The longer and the more often you run wfBatStat, the more accurately the battery life in minutes can be calculated.

Whenever you start wfBatStat, no calculations are performed for the first 2 percentage cycles as to avoid inaccurate measurements.
