Option to display accurate battery remaining time, alternative to percentage
You can easily find a tool that displays battery level in percentage, but there is currently no app available that displays the remaining time in hours and minutes. One option is to use HWINFO, which only displays minutes.
However, there is one issue with this approach. Windows calculates the remaining time using an averaging method. This means that if you are performing intensive tasks for a period of time, the estimated remaining time will appear low. Conversely, if you stop doing these tasks, it will take some time for Windows to recalculate the remaining battery life. On the other hand, HWINFO provides immediate calculations. So if you are not doing anything intensive, you may see a high number of battery hours. However, if you start using an application like Photoshop, the remaining time will immediately drop and return to normal once the application is fully loaded.
In my opinion, there should be an option to adjust the aggressiveness of the battery calculation to provide a more accurate estimate.
