Useless on 10.2.8 with souped up PB Wallstreet 
- Version: 1.1.1, 12/2/2005 07:04AM PST

At least this application actually boots, unlike decrepit old X-Charge. But sadly that is all it is good for. None of the readings say anything. It has the name of my PowerBook wrong (although the fact that I tossed a G4 500 MHz into the PB may confuse it), thinks I am plugged in when I am not, and tells me absolutely nothing about my battery. I might as well not have one. Use iBatt and XBattery. The fact that these alternatives actually work great prevents me from having a guilty conscience about giving this thing one star.
This version is even better. - Version: 1.1, 2/1/2005 04:54PM PST

I love the custom value field... now I can make my battery look like it is at full capacity. hee hee. Just kidding but it is a nice feature for using the extended life batteries which I think I will purchase next.
Would like a way to track multiple batteries, but this still does the job for me.
Well done.

Not sure what is the problem with your computer, but perhaps you were just reading it wrong. The capacity % is not for the charge, it is how much charge the battery is able to fully charge as opposed to when it was brand new. So 100% Capacity battery with a 100% charge means the battery is at its best. But a 12% capacity at 100% charge means your battery will only give you 12% discharge time.... 50% charge is only 6% of the overall charge.
My laptop battery is now at 72% with currently a 99% charge.
Hope that helps.

The program says it's incompatible with my Powerbook G3, the one with the firewire ports AKA Pismo.
This is a tough one for the developer, I hope his immediete circle of friends comes through with the whole range of Apple portables for testing.
Bravo nevertheless! It's offered for free and I respect that!

with my computer. I have a Powerbook G4 Ti 550 running 10.3.4. Maybe I misunderstood the Product Requirements. This would be interesting as a utility.
I would recommend Capacity Meter; I just need to run it first.
