    Battery Level Indicator for Netbook


    I have just obtained an Asus Eee 1015PED Netbook and the battery indicator doesn't appear to be very accurate. Can anyone recommend a reliable replacement. I have googled but would appreciate some recommendations from a user. Thanks.

    The only one that I can think of to recommend is PassMark BatteryMon
    Not free, but I have used it in the past as a battery tester.

    Thanks for that. I would prefer a free one, or perhaps one not quite as expensive. But will give it a go if nothing else turns up. Cheers.

    No battery indicator will be accurate. It is not possible.
    They will get the same information Windows is already getting.

    Want a more accurate reading you need hardware that reports accurately.
    Your hardware obviously does not.

    Never owned a laptop myself, but there are many battery indicator gadgets, you'd have to try some to see if they are more accurate. I suspect that what logicearth says is right, they all use the same info.

    Thanks for that information. In that case I will stick with what I have already got. Cheers.
