BatteryMon, developed by PassMark Software and currently available in version 2.1, is a battery monitoring utility designed to track the charge level of laptop computer batteries and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) in real time. Falling into the system utilities and hardware diagnostics category, the software presents a live graph of a battery's charge levels, displayed alongside an extrapolated trend line and a comparison trend line, enabling users to visually assess how a battery is performing against expected behavior. In addition to its graphical display, BatteryMon maintains a log file that records the battery charge level and other relevant statistics, allowing the collected data to be reviewed and analyzed at a later time. This combination of real-time visualization and historical logging makes the tool suitable for diagnosing battery health issues, evaluating discharge patterns, and verifying the condition of batteries in portable systems. Typical use cases include portable computer repair centers, where technicians need to assess battery condition as part of diagnostics and servicing, and system integrators who require a means of testing battery performance when building or configuring systems. Server administrators responsible for managing laptops also benefit from the software's monitoring capabilities, as do home users attempting to diagnose battery problems with their own portable computers. By offering both immediate graphical feedback through its trend-line comparisons and persistent statistical records through its log files, BatteryMon serves as a practical diagnostic and monitoring solution for anyone needing to observe, document, and analyze battery charge behavior in laptops or UPS equipment.
