coconutBattery is a tool that reads out the data of your notebook-battery (iBook/Powerbook). It gives you live feedback, what's going on in your battery (not only a snapshot like other tools).

It shows the current charge of your battery as well as the current maximum capacity related to its original. If coconutBattery detects that you have connected the wrong charger (i.e. an ibook-charger plugged in a powerbook) it will warn you! That's a cool feature!

Of course you are able to save the current maximum capacity of your battery - with just one click! coconutBattery uses Apple's new and really powerful technology named "CoreData" to realize that.

Finally coconutBattery calculates the age of your Mac exactly! So you can derive the age of your battery. And last but not least: coconutBattery is Universal Binary (you can run it on Intel-Macs! - cool!) and it is complete localizable!

AKROBAT Great app. Does what it says and works fine.

I think Macsintx & Person1229 should notice that a Macbook or Macbook Pro is part of the requirement for this app, which is why it displays wrongly on their iBook G4. (Version 2.6.3)

MACSINTX On my iBook G4, the values reported seem to be reported in the wrong fields.

-Current Battery Charge is 15392 mAh.

-Maximum Battery Charge is 2504 mAh.

These values are completely wrong. How could Maximum be less than Current.

-Current Battery Capacity is 2504 mAh.

-Original Battery Capacity is 299 mAh.

These values are completely wrong. How could Original be less than Current. (Version 2.6)

	Mar 10 2008	IVANOVITCH That's better: the previous version didn't match battery cycles with Apple's System Profiler - now it does. (Version 2.6)
