Battery Problems? Figure It Out With ACBPowerMeter

I know a lot of people know about this free tool, but I'm sure there are plenty who don't.

It takes up next to no resources when you run it. It's a really great little program to help figure out battery drain issues, what programs, settings or services are using how much power.

It tells how much power you are currently using (MA) and will graph usage, it also tell how much total power you have used since you opened it up (MAH) out of your suposesed 1500 MAH available from our battery.

It's pretty cool seeing exactly how much power you are using with nothing running and then how much after opening things like, bluetooth, Wifi, internet or other programs. Or comparing usage on the different screen brightness levels.

Check it out, I think I had tried it on my 6700 and just remembered about it a few days ago.

I'll post some of my numbers here after I get a chance to play around with it.
