BatteryBar keeps historical data on your batteries as you use your laptop. That information is used to calculate a very accurate estimate of the time remaining on your laptop.

Windows reports a time remaining that's very simple and fluctuates wildly from moment to moment.

When you're running on battery, BatteryBar shows the percentage bar in green, yellow, or red, depending on how much battery power is remaining. The bar displays the time left on your battery in Hours:Minutes. When charging, the percentage bar is shown in blue to indicate charging, and the estimated time to full charge is shown. The bar turns black and shows "On A/C" when fully charged

Note that this is the Free version. There is an even more powerful Professional version available.
