Ever wanted to know how long your laptop battery has left until it runs out?
There are some pretty nifty applications out there that can do this for you which just sit in your bottom right hand corner of your taskbar.
I've only really come accross two major free applications; both open source as we all love having free stuff on the internet!
I have listed these in order of what I prefer but feel free to try both of these and see for yourself which one you prefer:
First Up - BatteryCare
http://batterycare.bkspot.com/
Alternate - BattStat

Feel free to comment about which you prefer and why :)
