Badass Battery Monitor has all of these functions as of this writing, but data is presented in a different way.

There is a great tutorial included as to how to determine what is draining your battery.

Better Battery Stats: Great little app intended to replace the Battery History built in app removed in Gingerbread.

It's missing some of the features above (actually all of them), but it does have other features that Badass Battery Monitor doesn't have. It's way way way to busy for my liking though.

Battery Monitor Widget: This app includes an ton of detail, and nice history graphs.

Some phones seem to publish a new alert for every % drop in battery, while others will wait to send the alert until the device is woken up for some other reason (the latter seems much better), but in either case, this app should have minimal to no effect on your battery. I made sure this app only consumes resources when the device sends an alert for battery state changes, or when you're actively interacting with it.

Low battery usage: A number of the more full featured apps tend to consume a lot of battery by doing regular polling - even when the device is in deep sleep.

There is another app out there (Better Battery Stats) that does this as well - and does a good job of it.

They removed this in 2.3 (some Mods still include it - Cyanogenmod for example).

Find out what is draining your battery: In Android 2.2 and earlier there was a built in BatteryStats program (it was hidden) from which you could find all sorts of useful information such as who was holding WakeLocks, etc.Configuring these to find the best settings will require some work - but hopefully your device does a better job than mine (thanks LG). With this app, you can customize the power profile used - it even has some canned ones from other devices. Unfortunately, my phone manufacturer did a really bad job of this - and so all monitor programs that are based off of this information show bad results. For example, an active call will take X amount of power / second. Custom power profiles: All battery utilization is dependent upon your device manufacturer providing appropriate Power Usage values for different types of functions.This was the key item that I always want to see, and I don't want to open an app just to see it. Other apps have this - but non all in one place. Percent and time estimate quick view: A way to always see how much battery is left, and easily see estimates of remaining time.What makes Badass Battery Monitor different? There are no ads - it uses Internet Access for graphing, but otherwise requires no special permissions.

You can now download Badass Battery Monitor for free in the Android Market. With that in mind, and as a way to learn how to write a basic Android application, I decided to create my own. Unfortunately, even the good ones don't do everything I really wanted.

There are an amazing amount of battery monitoring apps out there - most of them are pretty terrible, but there are a few really good ones. We just launched this feature this week, so if you run into any issues we’d appreciate your feedback.I've always been intrigued with device monitoring, so when I got my Android phone, I really wanted to know more details as to it's power usage. It has been designed as an easy-to-use Windows based application that allows users to monitor the performance of laptop batteries and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and is a Battery Monitor in the system & hardware category. And note that once add a few models to the list, you can copy the URL and share it with others – they’ll see the same models. But that’s rather long and can be hard to navigate, the new widget allows you to concentrate only on the phones you care about. There is quite a few of them – you can see the full list in this table. Here is the live widget so you can try it out: If you don’t see the model you’re interested in, just hit the “Add to comparison” button and you can search through all phones we’ve ever ran a battery test on.

We’ll preload this widget with a couple of direct competitors to the phone to put things into perspective. There you’ll see the key numbers – battery capacity and Endurance rating, plus a breakdown of our three main tests (calls, web browsing and video playback). You’ll find it just below the usual battery score card of the phone being reviewed. Our new battery endurance widget: as seen on desktop and mobile Is 77 hours Endurance rating good? What about 10 hours of web browsing? How does a phone compare against its market rivals? The answers to those questions lie in our new widget that helps compare battery stats.

These have been an integral part of our reviews since, but now we’ve come up with a way to add some context to those results. Three years ago we adopted an automated system to test battery life on phones, it provides accurate, repeatable results.
