coconutBattery 2.0 available

cocowidgetBack in August, Scott used coconutBattery to confirm the bad news: His Powerbook's battery was starting to give up the ghost. Today, coconut-flavour announces the release of coconutBattery 2.0, which boasts some nice new features, including a new Dashboard widget for constant battery monitoring and a new preferences menu. Version 2.0 was also rewritten from scratch as a universal binary.

coconutBattery is donationware and requires Mac OS 10.4.3.

I love this -- Current Battery Capacity 4735 mAh; original battery capacity 4200 mAh -- say what?? More than original?!?

Mac age 38 months, battery-loadcycles 169. I think I'm doing pretty good so far...

This is such an awesome app. and I just wish the owner made a program to track the iPod's battery as well. I e-mailed him to tell him how much I loved his stuff and that he should definitely come out with an iPod-compatible program. Ya'll should do the same.

i have this, it's pretty cool; however, it does kind of suck to be reminded that my pb's battery is dying slowly but surely. :'(
