A lightweight Linux alternative to BatteryCare for tracking battery wear, charge cycles and calibration needs. It reads the real kernel power-supply interface (/sys/class/power\_supply). Features: * Live battery panel: charge level, status, AC state, voltage, power draw, and health (full-charge capacity vs design capacity) with every raw sysfs property listed. * Persistent history log: samples charge, power and capacity to a CSV file you can export. * Cycle tracking: shows the kernel cycle counter when the firmware reports it, plus equivalent full cycles computed from your own logged discharge. * Calibration reminder: tells you when no deep discharge has been logged for 30 days. * Power settings view: CPU governors, sleep states, platform profile, load and uptime. * On machines without a battery (desktops, VMs) the app says so honestly and shows system power settings only. It does not change any power setting.
