<p>Mp83: </p> <hr /> <div>==Description==<br /> <br /> [https://lepetitfou.dyndns.org/KThinkBat KThinkBat] is a laptop battery monitor for the KDE-Kicker. It is inspired by the Windows Application &quot;Battery Maximizer&quot; which is included with ThinkPads. <br /> <br /> It can use the SMAPI BIOS (through the [[tp_smapi]] driver) or [[How to make ACPI work|ACPI]] to collect the data. It shows you the current power consumption of the laptop and brings support for a second battery. It is fully customizable including sizes, color, fonts and battery number<br /> <br /> Homepage: https://lepetitfou.dyndns.org/KThinkBat<br /> <br /> Author: [https://lepetitfou.dyndns.org/wiki/bin/view/Main/TobiasRoeser Tobias Roeser]<br /> <br /> Latest Version (2006-11-18): 0.2.3<br /> <br /> ==Screenshot==<br /> <br /> [[Image:KThinkBat.png]]<br /> <br /> Offline Mode: you see how much charge is left and the current discharging rate.<br /> <br /> [[Image:KThinkBat_dual.png]]<br /> <br /> Online Mode: you see how much charge is left and the current charging rate.
