NiCad v1.0 by KJL Software Registration $ 25.00
UTIL OCT91 LAPTOP PORTABLE BATTERY GAUGE KJL
FILES: nicad10.sdn
New Release
NiCad(tm), is a memory-resident program which can display a
pop-up "gas gauge" which shows how much time is left on a
battery charge.
With most laptop computers it is difficult to know how much
power is left in the battery, especially if it has been used
for many sessions of varying duration. NiCad alleviates this
problem by using a timer algorithm to "predict" the charge
left in the battery based on the last 10 discharge cycles. A
pop-up "gas gauge" with the hours and minutes left in the
battery can be displayed from within most programs.
Several additional features distinguish NiCad. A deep
discharge function helps to prevent unwanted "memory effects"
that can reduce the capacity of nickel-cadmium (NiCad)
batteries. Multiple alarms can be set to remind the user
that the battery charge is getting low. An on-screen display
can show the amount of battery charge or current time within
most programs. A battery charge history function shows a bar
graph of the last 10 battery discharge cycles.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
NiCad requires a battery-powered portable computer running
MS-DOS or PC-DOS version 2.0 or higher. The program requires
16K of memory when resident. A hard disk is recommended but
not required.
