Re: Is there any harm of installing Batti or similar battery indicators ?

Don't use vistahidebattery as said above. Batti takes a lot of CPU resources (~10-20%) every second or so. If you're charging, it uses about 50-60%, and if you use the always-on-top feature, the 10-20% jumps to a constant 30-40% CPU usage. It's a hog for something that should be so simple.

I now use dci battery (mentioned just above too) and it uses very very little resources, even while always-on-top (maybe <5% every 10 second pole - honestly why do you need to pole every 1-2 seconds?).
