Description:
BatteryGraph is a program for monitoring battery status on a PalmOS compatible device.
Every time you switch on or off your device the program will log the current battery status in a database.
On the main screen the battery percentage and voltage over the last few days will be drawn as a line in a graph.
It can also display the device on-time per day wich will be drawn as bars.
Furthermore it will display the total on-time since the last (autodetected) charge (or new batteries) and the current battery status on the main screen.
On the status screen it displays the current battery status, the battery warning and critical threshold, whether or not the device is plugged in (battery is charging) and the battery type.
It also shows the number of records in the database and the current size in kilobytes.
Furthermore it show the last detected charge date and time and how long the device has been switched on and off since then.
The program should work on every Palm OS based device running Palm OS 3.5 or higher.
Besides the standard palm resolution of 160x160 it also supports Sony Hi-Res (on Clie's) as well as Palm Hi-Res (OS5) for 320x320 resolution.
Features:
- Displays battery percentage and voltage level in a graph
- Displays device on time per day
- Displays total time, device on-time and device off-time since last charge
- Auto detects last charge date
- User configurable display interval
- User configurable amount of data to store (maximum number of days or switch-on/off events)
- Color support, with user configurable colors
- Sony Hi-Res support (320x320)
- Palm Hi-Res support on OS5 (320x320)
- Works without using any hacks! (No HackMaster or X-Master required)
- OS5 compatible
Update Description:
Version 1.21 - 2003 October 27:

This is nice. I wish u could see like, there is 1-28 day, i would like to see increments shorter than a day. And the on off switches for me, idk if i was doing something wrong, but the little, red and green little things for the on and off switches were really small, and it seemed as though u had to turn off the palm, and then turn it back on to get it to the grid to register like, more, battery, stuff. I just cant get what i want to say, into words. like, if u looked at the grid, and then u waited half an hour while on the grid, it wouldnt change, u would have to turn off the pda and then turn it back on. And it didnt register that Full Power was running, i have my zire 72 to turn off at 3.50v and it said 3670mv or w/e, like it said the stock shutdown voltage.

Excellent program! Works perfectly on my Tungsten E, no problems! I only wish that you could export the database to an excel file so you could monitor battery trends in the long run, say, for noticing if your battery is beginning to experience memory defect, etc.

I have found this to be very useful in keeping an eye on my battery status. Much more acurate than the image at the top of the screen, even when charging. An essential little tool!

Great program!!! Works well on my Palm Tungsten E althought it gave an on-time of 100,000+ days after I did a soft reset when I my palm crashed. LOL! But the crash was not caused by this program so no worries. All you have to do is clear the database. Other than that, everything was purrrrfect!

Works okay, but I keep on getting Unbalanced Off/On events for the On Time.

It's good display wise, except for markings, I think it could use labels on the axis, instead of just the voltage amount have an hour indicator at the bottom... Otherwise, I've a tungsten E, and it only registers the voltage amount when the device is turned on/off... you could possibly make it read the rate every 5 or so minutes while on.

Very good application, kept back one star because it does not realize when Tungsten E is charging from the USB port.

Great program. The only problem is that the "On Time" indicator does not seem to work properly. It registers "On Time" even though the unit is off.

Wonderful app to track the battery of my CLIe! It is much better than most of the other utilities out there... Thanks for making this app free!

Great program for those who like knowing exactly how their battery is doing. One of my most used non-essential apps. Just don't get OCD about your battery after installing this. :)

Caused HotSynch problems; application would not let me exit and required a soft reset to close it; took three tries to delete as it only removed itself in uncrements. Sure looks pretty, though.
