KThinkBat - The Battery Monitor for the KDE-Kicker

Latest Stable Version is 0.2.9 .

KThinkBat is a laptop battery monitor for the KDE -Kicker written by Tobias Roeser. It is inspired by the "Battery Maximizer" included with IBM/Lenovo ThinkPads, but not limited to.

Although there are allready some battery monitor applications for the K-Desktop Environment, they ar mostly too small to realize the current battery charge at first blush. Additionally, KThinkBat shows the current power consumption of the laptop, brings support for a second battery and its layout is highly customizable.

  • display of the current online/offline state
  • display of the current power consumption in W (or A on Asus Laptops)
