What is a good battery charge monitor?

[Jeramiah]

On the XDA2i, I've been having the small problem of running out of battey since i use it for phone calls.
But, unlike normal mobile phones, the XDA2i doesn't give audio warnings when low on battery, so i find that i end up with a dead phone when i need to make a call.

Is there any settings to enable audio warnings on low battery, or any good utilities which will allow this?

Thanks.

Have you tried Spb Pocket Plus?

It shows a battery meter on screen all the time.

You are also supposed to be able to change the settings in your phone at Alerts to warn you of low battery.

To answer the subject of this post: KBattery (http://sourceforge.net/projects/kbattery/) is a good, free battery charge monitor, I use it all the time. It sits in the menu bar at the top, where the clock is. Though if you have O2 Active installed, it has a battery monitor on the Today screen. But you've removed (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=O2_Active) that already, haven't you?

As for audible alerts, I don't know how you would configure those. I tend to get a warning (text bubble tooltip style dialog and a two tone noise) from the phone when I reach 20% battery, and a bit later (I'm not sure what percentage of battery left triggers it) I am also warned when the battery is really low, I believe it's around 5%, and it cuts power to the SD card.

I've noticed that various functions shut down when battery runs low, but i dont seem to get any audio alerts. Now and then, the XDA can sit in my pocket for a few days so i might not open it up just to check on the battery level. Therefore, the battery gets drained and i would need to restore a backup.

If anyone knows how to access the setting to turn the audio warning on and off, please can you let me know.

Thanks
