An open-source floating battery bar for Windows 11 that estimates remaining time at different levels of recent system load.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-05 issue.

For: Windows 11 laptop users tracking battery under different workloads
Worth noticing: The page describes fuel-gauge readings, session-average drain learning and a soft-reserve countdown, alongside battery wear and cycle-count details.

Field notes

The page says the estimate draws on fuel-gauge mWh/mW readings, session-average drain learning and a soft-reserve countdown; battery-health details include design versus full-charge capacity, wear and cycle count. Runtime is described as Python-standard-library-only, with releases offered as a portable executable or per-user installer; the page says neither requires administrator rights. HP BIOS battery-mode readout is optional.
