Battery indicator

[erp52]

Is there an indicator that shows the percentage of battery life on the computer? Like on a cell phone where it shows battery life. Ed

Install Battery Maximiser/Power mgmt: http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc ... u105u1.exe
It will show % on AC or time when on battery.

Hi, I must be doing something wrong. I downloaded that Power manager from Lenovo, but I still don't see a battery meter showing percentage of use. Am I looking in the wrong place? Ed

Hmm. something is not kosher. Went on that site, but I think I can't get it downloaded because I have Windows 7. I don't see it on the list the site provided. Only went up to Windows XP. Ed

What's the model of your computer and what OS? These are the things you should have told us in the original post.

(I'm assuming you run Win7.) What's wrong with the built-in battery icon in the system tray? If you click on it, does it tell you the remaining charge in the popup?

As for Lenovo's Power Manager, try the Win7 version http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloa ... D=DS014924
