BEST NIMH battery program

[legohead]

I've seen previous posts that have mentioned a few different battery programs, but I haven't found any real detailed thread that says which is best.

I've started using NIMH batteries for my SL10 and want to know what program best detects battery level for NIMH. There have been a few comments about Batmon - how is it?

Are there problems with such programs? do these programs replace the built-in battery indicator or do you have to actually open a separate program to view the battery level?

Best one AFAIK is Runtime.

Used it on my Palm IIIx for quite sometime until I switched to SJ30. I am curious to know if anyone found a better battery monitor.

BTW, this is freeware - hard to beat that ;)

You can adjust the battery meter of the Palm OS to more correctly reflect the battery life of NiMH batteries. I use this shortcut myself and it works great. Battery meter reads 100% when my NiMH batteries are fully charged!
