Some of you might have already heard about my new NC-addon BatteryInfo...For those of you who don't know what this is, here's a screenie:
So what is it exactly about?
That's a really dumb question. Just look at the title of the addon.
It displays all necessary information about your iDevice battery. Inspired by coconutBattery, it displays two different bars.
The upper one shows the charge of the battery, the lower one shows the capacity of the battery.
Charge and capacity are two different words with two different meanings.
Charge:
Electric charge is a physical property of matter that causes it to experience a force when near other electrically charged matter. Electric charge comes in two types, called positive and negative. Two positively charged substances, or objects, experience a mutual repulsive force, as do two negatively charged objects. Positively charged objects and negatively charged objects experience an attractive force.
Capacity:
A battery's capacity is the amount of electric charge it can store.
The lower your battery capacity is, the faster your battery discharges.
Features:
- Current battery charge, displayed in mAh.
- The maximum charge capacity of the battery, displayed in mAh.
- The current battery percentage.
- The current battery state.
- The current total possible capacity of the battery, displayed in mAh.
- The original design capacity of the battery, displayed in mAh.
- Battery temperature (in °C and °F)
- Battery loadcycles (how often the battery charged)
The main purpose of this tweak is to show if a battery is ok or faulty.
You can get this addon in Cydia for $0.99 (I know, it's a bit expensive, but maybe you could give it a try ;-) )
(Should) support:
iPod Touch: 1G, 2G, 3G, 4G
iPhone: 2G, 3G, 3Gs, 4, 4s
iPad: 1G, 2G
Installation:
is simple.
UPDATE #1:
Ok, I got lots of e-mails. Many people are complaining about the size of the addon, so I made it a little bit nicer. I half-sized it, and enabled paging. The tweak does now consist out of two pages.
You may have noticed the new "time remaining" feature. This is very, very, very buggy. This tells you the remaining time until the battery is discharged and, when charging, it is fully charged.
I don't know if I'll keep this feature or if I'll replace it with another one.
