"Power Gauge" is a software for Mac OS X that acts as a replacement for the existing power gauge. It enables users to monitor both laptop batteries and UPS batteries efficiently.
The software comes with a graphical icon that displays the remaining power and can be accompanied by a text description indicating either the battery charge in percent or time remaining. Additionally, colors can indicate whether the system is fully charged, charging, or on battery.
SlimBatteryMonitor operates in the background, so it won't use up any space in your dock. Furthermore, users can choose different display options for each battery state, allowing them to see the time remaining while on battery or just show the icon during charging. Users can hide the software entirely when batteries are fully charged.
SlimBatteryMonitor closely agrees with Apple's monitor, as both are producing a gauge from the same raw data. However, SlimBatteryMonitor is more efficient as it presents the same information in a much more space-efficient manner, allowing you to fit other menu bar items on the screen as well.
The software is compatible with Mac OS X 10.2 and up, and it is very easy to configure. Overall, SlimBatteryMonitor is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a replacement power gauge for their Mac.
