SysTray Monitor is nice, I used it for awhile and only had one problem with it. If you turn on the CPU taskbar widget you'll notice that it's constantly using 5%+/- of your CPU. This may just be CPU widget relevant but I'm not sure.

Last but not least, I use OS Monitor.
While it doesn't have a tray battery icon it does have a CPU, but if you're extra nerdy it has wayyy more information to display than SysTray.
It does the same 5% CPU bull though, so be weary.

Thanks for the input. That's very interesting. I never bothered to check how much battery it was using. I will have to turn it off and see if it's significant enough.
