Coconut Battery in Leopard

[creator2456]

I have been using Coconut Battery for some time now and I just installed Leopard. I am having a couple issues and just want to make sure its not my machine only.

First off, Coconut is saying that my battery has 5 cycles while it really has 38. System Profiler has the correct number as well as iStat Pro.

Secondly, it is saying that my battery is charging...but without the charger connected (oh how I wish) as seen here.

Are these just program bugs that need to be fixed or a larger problem?

Yeah its borked (coconut Battery that is).

 

[sangdraxa]

yeah, I have the same problem. any alternate (free) apps?

iStat Pro or you can just look in your System Profiler (scroll down). All Coconut Battery is is a nice GUI for it anyways, that's why I'm not worried about it being wrong.

Unfortunately istatpro does not work under leopard for calculating battery (everything else is good)

Nano seems to, though. It's got my battery pegged at 68%, which seems about right (Sep. 06).

no luck here.

Mine is exactly the same with Coconut Battery too.
I just look at system profiler for the cycle count.

currently, that is the only way; it's just not as pretty.

Strange as both istat pro & system profiler both say
the same cycle count and work ok on my Mac

shift+apple+4 then drag the mouse over to where you want to start capturing. Click and hold while you drag to the other corner of what you're capturing and release.. there should be a file called Picture 1 on your desktop.

You can just press shift+apple+3 to capture the whole screen.

yep done that but how do i get the pic on to the post?

CoconutBattery also stopped working for me when I upgraded to Leopard. As soon as I downgraded back to Tiger, CoconutBattery began to function properly again.

Maybe with all these apps not showing your battery stats
there's a underlining issue somewere?
