The default battery indicator present at the top Start bar of PocketPc phones will give only 4 bars which would mean the exact power is rounded off to the nearest 25 point. How about having a better battery indicator that displays exact charge levels on your PocketPc? Here you go.

WmMiniBattery is a free software that adds a thin line of indicator at the top most part of your PocketPc screen, even above the Start bar. It fills the entire width of the screen and the level keeps decreasing with the available charge left on your PocketPc’ battery.

Best of all, the bar color is completely customizable so you can make it blend with your theme or even make it contrast to the current theme on your PocketPc for better visibility. We sure have seen some similar software in the past for example, Wk Task Manager which not just gives a battery indicator but works as a better X button or task manager. If you don’t want such complicated functionalities, you may give Wm Mini Battery a try.

Remember: Having a battery indicator will not help you conserve power.

Also, stop using your PocketPc as a torch light for long hours and most importantly stop Overclocking your PocketPc as it will reduce your PocketPc battery very quickly.
