What would be nice is some kind of application like
BattTrax that also tracks current usage. I thought
that it did, but it only tracks temperature, charge
current and battery capacity. Ultimatly what would be
nice to have is a menu that allows you to choose up to
3 seperate items to monitor.
You can download BattTrax from my website below. Just
look for BattTrax
