Monitor your laptop's battery
Screenshots
SlimBatteryMonitor is a program that allows you to monitor your laptop's battery power. It works as a startup item and sits in your menu bar, providing you with information about how much power you still have in your battery. You can customize it to appear only when the battery charge drops to a certain level. Additionally, you can customize the battery icon to show a different color depending on the battery level and choose between a rounded or square shape.
One of the pros of SlimBatteryMonitor is its ability to set a drop charge warning. This means you can receive a notification when your battery charge reaches a specific level. Another advantage is the option to decide when the battery icon pops up on your screen. You can have it always visible or only appear when the battery charge drops.
On the downside, SlimBatteryMonitor does not offer a feature to maximize your battery usage based on your current work. However, if you are looking for a simple and customizable way to keep track of your battery power, SlimBatteryMonitor is an ideal companion for your Mac, especially if you travel frequently.
