Battery Life Time Remaining

I have a HP Pavilion laptop and when I hover over the battery icon it tells me the percentage of battery left but I was wondering if their was a way to get it to show me how much time I have left? I have seen other pc's with Windows 7 have this and I was wondering if mine can do this also. Thanks

WIN denotes the key with the funny looking wavy flag on it.

FYI, don't depend on that time.

The time has served me well. I'm not picky about the preciseness but occasionally need a ball-park of time remaining.

Having a ballpark is nice, but once my netbook shows 1 hour left, I shut it down completely, because 1 hour based on 1 IE open is far from watching 1 hour of video or multitasking. And 1 hour on a laptop can drain quicker than you may think even on sleep.

Desslok,
I've got an ASUS netbook with fantastic and reliable battery life.

Power saver mode 6 hours, hi-performance 3 hours and on the ASUS the estimates are very reliable. Guess I'm lucky.

Thanks for the link Barman58.

Thanks everyone I was just seeing if there was any way to make it appear next to percent remaning at the bottom. Maybe HP does not support that function.
