Battery Life

[Eagle710]

Is there a way to check the battery life of a laptop while using WinPE? Possibly a portable app that does so?

this is for Bart PE but in sure the BattStat.exe referenced in that post would prolly work.

This utility didn't work in WinPE 2. So I want to try and make a script or something that can tell how much time is lift with the battery.....perhaps percentage level... any advice? I have started looking through the dlls and it seems tha WinPE has some of the required files to do this.

Yep, but initially you didn't state you wanted one for PE 2.x, and geek gave you a link to a Bart PE (read Win PE 1.x) one.

Maybe this works on WinPE 2.x:

Thanks.... I was wondering if anyone knew any thing about how to build a custom utility like this?

Just wanted to bring an old thread back to life and if anyone has found something meeting this criteria?
