AYUB Works fine for me. But the widget version says Loadcycles: 7 (wrong) whereas the app shows Loadcycles: 279 (correct,matched with iStat Pro widget version).

MAUDLIN I have a 2.16 Ghz MacBook and coconutBattery 2.6.5 shows Current Battery Capacity 5148mAh - greater than its Original Battery Capacity of 5020 mAh. This is from a 19 month old machine which has gone through 136 Battery Load Cycles. I'm using OS 10.5.6. I've tried several previous versions which have all also shown current capacity at more than 100% original capacity.

GREGM PPC G4 PowerBook, OS 10.5.6 Looks just fine. Info matches actual performance of the battery. Spot on for age, etc. MacOS X 10.4.5+ is the **ONLY** requirement showing on the developers web page.

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.

EASER Then the description on MacUpdate should be changed, since it currenty says "coconutBattery is a tool that reads out the data of your notebook-battery (iBook/Powerbook)." Seems to pretty blatantly say "iBook."

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.

CSURGI CoconutBattery displays here 371 mAh original battery capacity, 5400 loadcycles... and 12550 mAh current charge, not displaying correctly if the chrger is connected or the battery is charging :-( It's an Al. powerbook (1,66 GHz G4 CPU, with an originally 5400 mAh battery, after 371 loadcycles...)

SIMICHAVEL Nice little app. As it says, more useful than the usual. OTOH, unless I missed some preference, it does not have menubar functionality. A little drop down menu with all the same info would make it even better. I've been using SlimBatteryMonitor for a long time and would change right away.

DCHAMMER There's a little triangle along the right side. Click that for a data window, in which you can save your current battery data.

SIMICHAVEL To clarify: the author meant that you can save the battery capacity *data* with just one click. The point of this is to be able to track over time how weak your battery is getting.

DCHAMMER Can't get this to work. I try to open the application and it immediately quits without even opening at all. The widget is apparently not working properly too. It tells me there's an undefined status and that my computer has undergone 0 loadcycles. Anyone else seeing this? Maybe it's something with the Security Update we saw yesterday... I'm on a MacBook Pro

JUSTWORKS Works perfectly here, using the english-only version on my PowerBook 1.5 GHz running 10.4.2 Thanks to the developer for making this... I gave it four-stars for 'features' because I am sure the developer will add some more features, I guess there's always room for a bit more.

STERNHAMMER Nice little app. However it might need a little bit of cosmetic adjustment: it doesn't quite handle the *absence* of a battery. I know that's hardly a fatal issue but it could be a little more graceful in how it handles possible conditions. With no battery in my PowerBook coconutBattery fluctuates between showing 0 and 68,000 mAh original battery capacity and 0 to 4,000,000 mAh current battery charge! :) (Now THAT's what I call a battery!) Sorry to be critical. It's still a nice piece of work. Well done.

IVANOVITCH Fabulous, but horribly depressing. The software is a great gui wrapper for battery information - and laptop age. The depressing part? My 20-month 17" PowerBook has only 66% of its battery left. Yet I've tested it on 4-yr PowerBooks and 3-yr iBooks that still show 95-98%. Suggestion: offer a webpage that lets us record laptop age against battery capacity. I'd be very interested to see comparisons with other laptop user. A spiffy icon is needed, though...

NATHAN A 20-month 17" PowerBook with 66% of its battery? Heck, my 12" PowerBook is 20 months old and has less than 20% capacity remaining (2 weeks ago it was 39%). I took it to the Apple store and their comment was "well, batteries die". Strangely enough, it was by using coconutBattery that I could even convince them there was a problem at all. Great piece of software.
