A simple (yet very useful) view of your Mac's battery

CoconutBattery is a handy application that gives you a simple interface with some useful information on the current status of your battery.


But this app isn't just a tool which shows you only the current charge of your battery. It also shows you its current maximum capacity compared to the original capacity your battery had when it left the factory. Moreover, coconutBattery gives you information about the battery-loadcycles (how often did you fully load your battery), the current charger (coconutBattery even warns you if you plugged in a wrong charger for your Notebook) and information about the age of your Mac.

So, it seems that in the 7 months since I got this Macbook Pro, its battery has lost 4% of its original capacity. Well, I guess I have to find some tips on how to maintain my Mac's battery life...
