#431 — battery monitor

I am looking for a battery monitor utility for my Dell Inspiration 600m.

My Toshiba laptop has a battery monitor in the system tray that shows
one of the following states:

1) On battery with xx% charge remaining
2) On AC Line with battery charging presently at xx%.
3) on AC line with battery fully charged.

3 is really a special case of 2, but the program uses a different icon
for it.

Is there a similar utility for my Dell Inspiration 600m?

Thanks Pen, that is exactly what I was looking for.

Its hard to RTFM when you don't have TFM.  Now I do. (Its my wife's, and
she is not the original owner.)

I own a 600m. TFM is for download only; it was not included in print form 
with the 600m. I'm surprised you couldn't see the battery-state icon; it's 
clearly in the far lower right of the screen (unless someone deleted it) 
among all the other little icons down there.

Good reason my wife didn't get it.

Yes, I did see it, but it appeared to give only part of what I wanted.
Wife had seen what my Toshiba showed, wanted same.
