battery left: it can show voltage, temp, system battery %, estimated battery %, and probably more that i forgot. plus you can set it so it wont update constantly but every 5 minutes or so. you get a slight delay in the reading but it healped my battery life. you can set it for real-time if you like though.

You can use it to see what's using your battery life. If it turns out to be something you either didn't know was running, or you don't use but runs on its own, you can adjust your settings or uninstall the problem app.

BatteryTime Lite, it's free, to the point, and works with this Froyo Update. By the way, careful what you install after updating to Froyo, it'll crash your phone if you're not careful. We should start a thread about what DOES work with it.

I've been using Battery Indicator and it runs good so far (and works with Froyo). It stays in the notification bar and when you drag done, it goes you battery info, like time since unplugged, battery health, temperature, voltage.

Haven't noticed a drag on the battery yet but my usage is all over the place (some days heavy and some days light) that I haven't gotten a good feel yet on what my battery should be at.

Battery Left Widget -

*They also have a Pro backend version of the app then you can get which provides you the ability to save various battery profiles (ex. for if you have a standard battery and an extended battery), it would save info specific to each, you would just have to tell it which one it is currently running off.

Once it gets calibrated (just has to read every level of the battery from 1% to 100%) it gives the following information:
-Time left (hrs and min till its dead)
-Time dead (time of day it will die at current use)
-Estimated % (adjusted system % gauged from the calibration info)
-Full battery life (gives the life of the battery from full to dead)

I've been using this for the last 2 wks on my Incredible, love it! Before that, I used it for a few months on my Eris...loved it then too!

**Two thumbs up!
