replacement for lenovo battery meter?

#1 Post by albo » Sun Feb 24, 2013 11:16 am

Hi Folks,

I had to uninstall Power Manager as one of it's components seemed to be crashing my T410. Can anyone suggest a good replacement for the taskbar battery meter?

thanks!

Windows has a built-in battery meter. There are also tools like Notebook Hardware Control and Battery Care.

There is no reason for Power Manager to crash the T410. It must be a problematic driver of some kind or a botched installation.

The free version of BatteryBar is a great battery meter. It allows you to change power profiles just by right clicking the bar and it quickly gives you wear percentage by hovering the cursor over it. Check it out:
