You probably notice on your laptop or tablet that Windows 10<\/a> shows a battery icon in the Taskbar. This visual element quickly lets you know when your device is running on AC power and how much battery life is left.<\/p>\n

However, you still need to click the icon to see the percentage of remaining battery life, which is fine, but you could get a much improve visualization using BatterBar.<\/p>\n

BatteryBar is a tiny third-party battery meter application that accurately calculates the battery life of your device, and it displays the exact percentage remaining with a much\u00a0better icon in the Taskbar. You can even click the icon, to see the time remaining running on battery.<\/p>\n

When you hover over the icon, the app can also show additional information, such as battery capacity, time remaining until fully charged, battery wear, and much more.<\/p>\n

How to install BatteryBar<\/h2>\n
Warning:<\/strong> You\u2019ll be using a third-party application. While the app has been tested and it works correctly, make sure to understand that using third-party tools can sometime cause problems, use it at your own risk. You\u2019ve been warned.<\/span><\/div>\n
    \n
  1. \n

    Download the BatteryBar from the official site<\/a>. There is a paid version, but the free version is all you need.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Double-click the file and to through your typical app installation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Once you completed the steps, you’ll notice a new bigger battery icon in the Taskbar, which should be green, but it’ll change colors as battery life gets shorter.<\/p>\n

    BatteryBar doesn’t offer any options to customize the icon, but it’s default appearance and functionality are better than Windows 10’s default battery icon, and it blends perfectly in the Taskbar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
