If you use a mobile computer like a laptop or netbook on the road you better make sure to keep track of the battery to avoid running out of power when its most important to have access to the computer. We have seen several laptop battery monitors in the past like notebook battery monitor, BattStatt or Notebook Hardware Control. All of these computer programs visualize the remaining battery power visually either in the Windows system tray or small widgets that are placed on the computer desktop.
BattCursor adds another battery monitoring possibility for computer systems running the Windows Vista operating system. The free software program displays the remaining battery power next to the mouse cursor so that it is always in sight.
The colors of the mouse cursor change at thresholds to inform the user about the battery status. A red cursor for instance indicates a low battery while a green cursor indicates that lots of battery power is remaining.
Battcursor requires the Microsoft Windows operating system and the .net Framework 2.0 or higher. It comes with a few additional settings that can extend the battery life of the laptop further. This includes dimming the computer display or turning of Aero.
