Battery Widget
Battery Widget is an elegant 1x1 widget which shows you the battery level on your home screen, with some nice animation when charging. Tapping on it will show more battery information with a shortcut to view battery use.
In case you don't have enough space in your home screen, a clear battery level indicator is available on status bar so that you can see it even when you are browsing the web or sending text messages. It can be configured to show in 3 different colors to reflect high/medium/low battery levels. You can also define your own alerts, so that Battery Widget will automatically notify you about battery status changes.
Battery Widget will not drain your battery, as it does only what it needs to do. When the device is idle, it is not listening to any battery information updates from the system if there are no active alerts. If there are active alerts, it just does minimal job to check if it needs to notify you and nothing more - it does not update any visible components when the handset is not in use. With this mechanism, Battery Widget consumes only little computation power and battery.
Available in multiple languages: English, Chinese (Traditional), Chinese (Simplified), Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Russian, Greek, Italian, Hungarian, Estonian, Turkish, French, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Polish, Catalan, Dutch, Ukrainian and Romanian.

Important Notes
- Make sure that Battery Widget is excluded in any task killer programs; it might fail to work properly otherwise.
- Due to the limitation of the Android platform, homescreen widgets will NOT be available if Battery Widget is moved to SD card.
- Some devices indicate battery level every 10% due to their kernel design (known ones are: most Motorola devices including Droid and Atrix series, Samsung Moment series).
- In Android 4.0, the system may shrink and dim level indicator icons in status bar.

- This is a great app that lets u knw the utmost details of your phone's battery. Great app and a really good way to limit use of battery wasting applications. Some extra features as well such as battery temperature and health condition. As well as no wi-fi needed. And to top all of this off its free. Recommended to most people and their phones if you ask me.. brilliant...just brilliant
- I highly recommend this app for any Android device. Very easy to use user interface (UI) and easy to understand settings. The custom alerts make it easier to manage your phone. * Note - The app tells you the indicator may shrink when using an Android 4.0 device, which it does on my Droid 4. Other than that, why are you still reading this review? Download it already. :-)
- This battery widget is very versatile. I had HTC battery widget which looks the same but after upgrading to sense 3.6 the battery widget was gone, so I tried so many other battery widget but this ones the clear winner, because it looks professional, doesn't look like a cheaper/other battery widget... :D thanks to elvison.
- Does everything you would want from a battery widget and more! App is light, so it doesn't hog memory or cpu resources. Having an actual percentage is so useful on a phone or tablet....I'm seriously trying to come up with a negative comment or complaint. None. Zero. Nada.
- Love this app. It's very easy to control and understand, and it's very useful. This widget displays temperature, battery percentage, as well as battery control settings. It's fun as well, because the battery juice looks 3D and liquefies itself. Would recommend to anyone.
- Helped me figure out some problem areas for battery overuse, and the histogram function is pretty useful, too! May actually consider buying the paid version at some point later on.
- Looks fantastic. The only this I recommend is to add the ability to change the color of the "juice" inside the widget. I would love a blue to match my JB status bar.
- Great for keeping a more precise eye on battery level, the widget is neat but I turned the notification bar meter off, it was upsetting how fast it was falling haha
- Great app, I was using it for about a half a year. Now I no longer need it because CyanogenMod can display battery percentage without any additional software.
- Installed this on my first android phone, just put it on my nexus 7 because it's so useful, prefer it to having to open a tray to check battery level
