Product Description:
coconutBattery is a tool that reads out the data of your notebook-battery (iBook/Powerbook). It does give you live-feedback what's going on in your battery (not only a snapshot like other tools) It shows the current charge of your battery as well as the current maximum capacity related to its original. If coconutBattery detects that you have connected the wrong charger (i.e. an ibook-charger plugged in a powerbook) it will warn you! That's a cool feature! 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 names "CoreData " to realize that. Finally coconutBattery calculates the age of your Mac very exactly! So you can derive the age of your battery. And last but not least: coconutBattery is "Universal Binary" (you can run it on Intel-Macs! - cool!) and it is complete localizable!
What's new in this version:
- added 2 new localizations (Spanish, Greek)
- buxfix for the Swedish localization

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.
