Windows Mobile 6 Battery Monitor?

[btjnoakes]

Hi all,
I've searched both here and google for a plugin to meet my requirements. I'm after a small footprint battery monitor which will sit either in the today screen section of my Orbit or ideally in the same bar as the start button. I've seen a lot that will work but they either seem to be large footprint or just downright ugly. Is there an elegant solution to this problem?

Cheers in advance,

Ben

*edit* I know the stock O2 software comes with a mini battery icon but I stopped the Orbit from installing all of the O2 software because I found it made the device really slow and unresponsive, so i'm running WM6 stock with the HTC settings for O2 MMS/GPRS installed. *edit*

Try Batti - nice little app that sits on top of the Start bar and can be customised to different colours etc.

Thank you! Thats exactly what I'm after, the version notes for the most recent version only specify compatibility up to WM5 though, but i'll give it a go and if it works i'll post back.

Thanks again,

Ben

I can confirm that Batti v2.1 works for WM6 even though it's not listed as being compatible on the Batti site.

One comment, it seems if you have the battery info pane turned on for when you tap the battery indicator icon, the calendar button on the bottom left of your today screen is replaced with a notification button that when you press brings up the battery info pane.

I've not experimented to see if turning of the info pane on icon tap will remove the notification button and restore the calendar button.

Should work also on WM6.
