How it Works
iBatt digs deep into your system to find out as much as it can about your laptop's battery.
It presents this information in a sleek, easy to read console view, along with gauges and
a line graph showing battery history. It also communicates with the iBatt server to share
your battery data with iBatt's database, allowing you to compare your battery's performance
with other batteries in your laptop model.
What it Costs
iBatt is $19, with a limited free trial.
How do I know how healthy my battery is?
The quickest way is to look at the Health Report. iBatt will grade your battery on a scale of
A+ to F, with A+ indicating a perfectly healthy battery, and F indicating an unusable battery.
iBatt's health report is generated using proprietary algorithms which compare your battery's
values against those commonly observed among other users of your computer.
How can I keep track of my battery's deterioration?
iBatt keeps a running log as long as the application is open. If you're interested in long-term
analysis of your battery, it's best to keep iBatt running as much as possible, especially
when the power is unplugged. iBatt features a "Hide Windows In Background" option under the
View menu, which will lower CPU usage by keeping iBatt's views hidden when you switch to
another app.
