How to check battery level?

Is there a way to check the battery level on the iPod Touch? I recently acquired a new 32 GB Touch, and the first thing I did was upgrade to the 2.0 software. I have been unable to find an option or menu that will tell me how much battery life I have remaining.
In looking around I was able to find that on the iPhone there's a Settings > General > Usage menu, but I don't have that on my Touch.
All I ever get is the 20% remaining warning message. Is there no other way to determine how the battery is doing?
Thanks for the help...

Hard to believe they don't have something that tells you where you're at. The icon is okay, but is not as helpful as an approximate percentage or number of minutes remaining. I realize battery life remaining can change drastically, say if you start watching a movie, but it would be nice to have something a little more substantial.
I submitted feedback...thanks for the link.

Forgot to check battery level on my MacBookPro 15" ( 2009 )

Got myself into real trouble because I didn´t watch
the battery level ( % )
Landed at 3% and lost a number of .plist files.
Installed OS, Applications and the few files I had backed up.
Everything back to normal.
Question: Could Diskwarrior been a easier solution?
( Otherwise I have learnt my lesson....it ain´t gonna happen again! )

Ptah-Hotep: You can let your battery drain all the way down until the MBP goes to sleep, then leave it in sleep mode until the battery is so depleted the machine goes into hibernation, and still you will lose no files by doing so. If you've lost files, it was for some other reason, not because your battery was low. The usual reason for lost data is a corrupt hard drive directory, and DiskWarrior is an excellent directory-rebuilding tool. But the draining of your battery through normal use doesn't cause directory corruption at any level of charge, no matter how low.

Inaccurate battery level

Here and in other places, I have seen several complaints about lack of a correct battery level indicator. This seems to be the case with more than one phone model. Considering short battery life, it is a real problem that battery level cannot be checked with any accuracy. I sometimes have 7 bars when I turn off my 6220 classic, and 4 when I turn it on again after a short while. This shows that the firmware checks battery level very seldom or that the procedure has very little precision. Checking with PhoNetInfo or NSysInfo gives the same result. They seem to reflect the firmware's reading.
It cannot be so difficult to make the firmware check more often. Why has this not been done?
Is there no software that is capable of doing its own direct check?

it's not difficult to have the software or firmware that check batt level more... pool more but:
- The more you do, the more batt it's used... therefore shorten your batt life again.
- The batt has IC chip built in, and the batt after you use a while capacity is less and less and your chip may malfunction, which may give you incorrect value and batt life shorts.
Even if you turn off your phone it still used the battery as if you set alarm and turn off, it will turn on and sounds.
This is a feature too that ppl want...
Hope this helps

Check the level of phone battery + J2ME

i'm leaving in a developping country , i need to develop a midlet that will send an sms to somebody when the courant goes off , the midlet will be installed on a phone that will be permanently connected to a power outlet
My question is is it possible in J2ME to do such a thing( detect that the battery is not charging meaning that the courant went off and of course detect the contrary)
I'm a beginner in this stuff and I'm using netbeans 6.1 IDE

Battery level detection isn't a part of the standard API, but some manufacturers do have a proprietary API which facilitates this. Check out the developer area of the manufacturers' websites.
But AFAIK this will only give you the battery level, not whether it's charging or not.

10.5.8 won't show UPS battery level

I just installed an APC Smart UPS 1000 VA UPS to my Mac Pro server. The USB cable is plugged in and the UPS battery is fully charged according to the display on the UPS itself. The Energy Saver control panel is the APC preferred control method (they do not supply software for MAC OS X after 10.4) and all the controls appear as expected with the exception that the Battery Level indicator at the top of the Prefs panel shows 0% full.
I've unplugged and plugged it back in to no effect. I restarted the server. I turned off the power at the wall switch and the UPS ran the server with no dramas for about 10 minutes. Nothing I tried had any effect.
There is nothing in the APC support site other than instructions for using Energy Saver panel.
Our power here has been pretty flaky this year and I want the server to gracefully shut down after about 10 minutes of an outage. It won't work if the UPS won't talk to the copmputer.
Steve

Have you checked to see if another USB device works on the USB port the UPS is connected to?

Flex 2 14 Battery Level Dropped from 57 to 7 in seconds

I've been using my Flex 2 14 for around 3 months. However, recently I've encounter a situation whereby my battery level had dropped from 57% to 7% in split second when I'm not plugged in. I was wondering could it be an manufacturing defect and what should I do to fix this problem?
Note: I use this laptop while plugging into the charger most of the time. The battery level is usually kept at around 55~60 only with the help of energy manager. Also, I had performed battery gauge reset once.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

SOLUTION FOUND !
I just found a solution to my battery issue that is apparently due to a bug on the latest update of Snow leopard (10.6.8). Parallels desktop that was in the Dock was making the Dock taking 100% of the CPU activity (checked in the activity monitor) using battery and heating my computer.
After I checked for such cases on teh web (see: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1181176 ), I removed Parallels Desktop and Windows Applications folder from the Dock and situation seems to be back to normal...

Wireless Keyboard Battery Level Not Changing?

Hi,
I have got a new iMAC machine 21.5" , almost 6 weeks since. I am a regular user. The machine has Mountain Lion OS 10.8.2.
In System Preferences, I can see the Battery level for Blue tooth mouse dropping to 57%, but the keyboard has been showing 100% all the time.
Looks like this is a bug. How do i check the Keyboard Batter Level.
Regards,
Vinay

I bought an 21.5" iMac eight months ago and I did note that the battery level wasn't changing for my Wireless Keyboard as my Magic Trackpad slowly used its batteries up. That being said I changed the batteries in the Keyboard when the Magic Trackpad died assuming the Keyboard was soon to follow and now the battery level is reported accurately. In conclusion I believe that the Energizer Advance batteries that are shipped with the Wireless Keyboard, Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad had a lot more to do with the problem then the OS. I don't know why only the Keyboard was affected but I do know that now I am using regular Energizer batteries and all is normal as far as usage levels. Hope that helps.

Service Battery & Check Battery appear with original battery & new battery

My older MacBookPro, purchased in November 2007, is continuously showing "Service Battery" in System Preferences: Energy Saver & in the battery icon drop down menu. "Check Battery" appears in the System Profiler. I have recalibrated both of the batteries. I purchased a new battery in February 2010 I am having the same issues.
What am I doing wrong? Is this a problem with my MacBookPro?

not sure if this will help, but i will post my experience as well. i purchased the macbook 13" about 1 year ago. the battery had less than 100 cycles, and health was above 90%. within the last week, i noticed that my macbook shutdown without warning when the battery life reached about 25-30%. so before the computer reached that level, i plugged the power cord, but that caused the computer to shut down. i then noticed after turning the computer back on that "Service Battery" showed up on the menu bar. after reading the forums, i decided to take the macbook to an apple store. the genius took the computer and opened the casing. apparently, the problem was major dust inside the computer causing a malfunction. after cleaning it, the macbook worked perfectly.
so far, it's been about 5 days since i took the computer to the apple store, and no further problems to report. so before buying batteries, this might be help your issues. hope this helps!

Px4-300d shuts down/powers off while on UPS battery, regardless of remaining battery level

Upon line power failure, the UPS is instantly available to supply power to the px4-300d. The UPS is adequately sized to provide well over an hour of runtime during a power failure. The only way to have caching operate is to have a UPS connected. With the UPS connected, the NAS sees the UPS, the current power condition, and an accurate battery power level (%). Once the power fails, the unit begins its shutdown process and completes gracefully, even though the remaining power in the UPS battery is still near 100%. The whole point of having UPS backup is to keep the device running for as long as possible during a power failure, and then to gracefully shut-down the device should the UPS battery level reach a critical level and line-power still not restored. This is MANDATORY to be addressed in the next firmware release, or provide access to a configuration file that specifies the battery level percentage which triggers a shutdown. Why choose this "Enterprise Quality" storage solution if during a power outage it shuts itself down while everything else is still operating? Makes absolutely no sense.
Solved!

Hi easy-e,
What is the firmware version on your device currently?
LifeLine-based network storage devices should remain up and running normally using only UPS battery power until the UPS reports remaining battery is less than 3 minutes or below 5%. At his point, device shutdown will be triggered and your network storage device will gracefully shut down.
Have you checked to make sure it is compatible?:
What Universal Power Supply (UPS) models are compatible with my ix or px network device?
APC UPS not working with network storage device
If it is not shutting down properly, I would suggest contacting technical support to see if they can troubleshoot the cause of this problem.

MacBook shuts down at 30-35% battery level: any suggestion please?

My MacBook (13" unibody) shuts down at 30-35% of battery level without any warning. I have the impression that it began to happen after I installed the Snow Leopard upgrade. I got the computer on Dec. 24th 2008. Any suggestions, please?

Hi azuzeno, welcome to the forums and happy holidays,
About Batteries. http://www.apple.com/batteries/
From //www.apple.com/batteries/notebooks.html
"Battery Lifespan For Apple notebooks with removable batteries — such as previous generation MacBook and MacBook Pro computers — a properly maintained battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 300 full charge and discharge cycles. You may choose to replace your battery when it no longer holds sufficient charge to meet your needs.
Your battery info state "Cycle count: 262" So your pretty close to the 300 cycle limit. Just like an older car, old batteries can behave erratically. It's time to buy a new battery.
You could also book an appointment for the Genius Bar. http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ They may be able to save you a few dollars.
