Coconutbattery 2.5
One of the pitfalls of owning a Mac notebook, whether it's a Powerbook or the new Macbooks, is the uncertainty of battery life. Typical battery life for a Powerbook and Macbook Pro is around 2-3 hours of constant use. You get a little more juice with the Macbook and previous iBooks. Mac OS X includes a battery gauge that tells you how much battery is left. What it doesn't tell you is the current capacity of the battery and the depreciation of it over time.
Coconutbattery 2.5 is a pretty cool Mac app that tells you the current capacity of the your battery, in relation to what it was originally. In time, you can predetermine a faulty or an aging battery. You can also get information about battery loadcycles, or how often did you fully load the battery; the current charger and whether you attached the right one; and information about the age of your Mac. Pretty useful tool, and most important: It's free!
