Can anyone recommend a good battery monitoring software, similar to Mobile Meter for the PC, that gives you a breakdown of temperature, wear level, charge cycles, etc?

Hmmm... Well, I'm trying to find an app that will be able to tell me the wear level on my iBook battery, the difference between the actual charge capacity and the design capacity. I checked out the hardware monitor app but I don't think it will tell me that.

What you want, I think, is iBatt.
