BatteryTime - Free Today Screen Battery Plugin
"BatteryTime is a small Today Screen plugin which monitors battery's uptime since last charge and displays the current battery charge percentage on PPC's Today Screen. There is no option or whatsoever. Just install and your battery will be monitored. When the PPC is connected to a charger, the uptime will be reset to zero. The uptime will start count whenever the charger is disconnected."
Looks like a handy little app if all you want is basic monitoring. Best of all, it's free.

I use a similar freeware app called UpTime. It was finally upgraded for compatibility with WM2k3. Anyone interested in monitoring their usage may want to check it out also.

As you can see lasted close to 9 hours. The battery was new which I just bought from Proporta's headquarter in Brighton/Hove (nice place, really friendly people). Used it on a 14 hour plane journey. The usage is mainly music (GSPlayer), reading e-books (iSilo), watcing a Futurama episode (BetaPlayer) and playing some games (Age of Empires etc). Also used XCPU Scalar to scale my CPU frequency. These are the results for my h4150 original 1000mAh battery, obtained during the same journey:

Such a waste of screen real-estate.

Looks like the link is working now but I can't seem to install it. There is no .cab file in the zip within a zip. Hum..
Uptime works fine.
