Version
2.0 1006
Batteries, given their chemical nature, are prone to
wear, corrosion, leakage and outright failure due to
events like short circuits and lightning strikes.
Given their propensity to fail and to have decreased
performance over time, it is important to be able to
identify and monitor their performance. With
BatteryMon, monitoring the state of your battery has
never been easier.
BatteryMon is an easy to use Windows program that
allows the monitoring of laptop computer batteries and
uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). Graphically see
the battery charge / discharge rate, diagnose problem
battery cells, compare your batteries performance with
expected discharge rates and see the status of each
individual battery pack (when multiple batteries are
in use). Batteries and BIOS must comply with the
Windows, Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
(ACPI) specification in order for BatteryMon to work
correctly. More than 20 statistics are provided
including voltage levels, battery chemistry, full
capacity level, current capacity, bias settings,
device names and serial numbers. A log file is
maintained of the battery charge level and other
statistics for later analysis and the software comes
with a comprehensive help file.
