KThinkBat
Description
KThinkBat is a laptop battery monitor for the KDE-Kicker. It is inspired by the Windows Application "Battery Maximizer" which is included with ThinkPads.
On ThinkPads it uses the SMAPI BIOS through the tp_smapi driver. 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
