Product Description:

coconutBattery isn't just a tool which shows you only the current charge of your battery - it also shows you the current maximum capacity of it in relation to the original capacity your battery had as it left the factory. You also get information about the battery-loadcycles (how often did you fully load your battery), the current charger (coconutBattery even warns you if you plugged in a wrong charger for your Notebook) and last but not least information about the age of your Mac. coconutBattery gives you all these information just in time because of it's live-feedback interface! Of course you are able to save the current maximum capacity of your battery - with just one click! coconutBattery uses Apple's new and really powerful technology named "CoreData" to realize this comfortable saving option. And last but not least: coconutBattery is Universal Binary

coconutBattery CommentaryBug in 2.6.1 - Version: 2.6.1, 3/26/2008 08:21AM PST

dennis.hollett
I used coconut battery for about a year now and it was great in 2.5 and 2.5.1. But I upadated it to 2.6.1 (didn't use 2.6) and now it's a CPU hog. When i start up coconut battery on my C2D Macbook the system% goes from 1-3% up to 75-83%. I did not notice this in 2.5 version. I checked activity monitor and there are about 12-13 ioreg processes listed. Most of these ioreg's range from 8-12% with a few at 1-2%. It cause my cpu temp to jump 10-15 degrees celsius and my fans to increase.

This should not happen with a simple battery monitor.

I'm using leopard though that should be a factor since 2.6 and on was suppose to be leopard compatible.
