Battery Logger

Battery Logger is a handy app for anyone who wants to keep an eye on their MacBook's battery life. Knowing how long your MacBook’s battery lasts is super important, right? This little app seems perfect for that!

What Does Battery Logger Do?

This user-friendly and discreet menulet app helps you track battery usage. You can easily see the current charge and capacity compared to the maximum charge and design capacity. It automatically starts counting when you unplug your power cable and resets every time you plug it back in.

Monitoring Your Battery

Battery Logger even pauses the counter when your laptop sleeps or shuts down, but it still remembers those times for later reference. This way, you can always get a complete picture of how your battery is doing.

Factors That Affect Battery Life

Your MacBook's battery performance depends on several factors like CPU usage, hard disk activity, screen brightness, and the age of the battery itself. So, knowing these can help you improve your overall experience!

Status Bar Features

From Battery Logger’s status bar menu, you can keep an eye on CPU usage, check Sleep and Off times, monitor battery temperature, and track load cycles. Plus, it lets you compare the design capacity with what you’re currently seeing!

Discharge History Tracking

The app also keeps a record of your battery discharge history! You’ll be able to see when it started discharging, the percentage at both start and finish, plus how long it lasted along with sleep times.

User-Friendly Charts

A cool extra feature is that Battery Logger generates easy-to-read charts showing your MacBook’s battery capacity over time. This makes it simple to visualize changes!

Custom Settings

The Settings tab lets you tweak things like the time display format or enable CPU monitoring. You can even set warnings for CPU usage thresholds and have Battery Logger start automatically when you log in.

If you're hunting for a light yet effective tool to monitor your notebook’s battery performance over time, Battery Logger is definitely worth checking out!
