Battery 1.36
Battery from smallte.ch is one of the utilities that fall in the latter category, as it brings users a set of features many applications of this kind are missing.
Smooth looks and fluent navigation
The interface has a high-quality finish to it and the graphics are really nice to look upon. Moving between the various sections of the app is effortless and those who want to bring a personal touch to the appearance can modify the battery color from the settings area.
It is possible to have the Battery icon displayed on the lock screen for viewing the charge and discharge status at a glance. The alerts or various battery levels are audio only, with a special sound and/or a voice announcing when one or more thresholds you selected and activated manually is reached.
Calibrate the app and get lots of time remaining estimations for various activities
The information is retrieved fairly quickly and the estimates for music playback, Internet browsing, video playback, talk time, 2D or 3D gaming, reading, GPS navigation and LED flashlight are spread across several screens. Other details like the maximum duration for video chat, taking photos, recording video or voice or online radio WiFi are also taken into consideration.
Perhaps the most important asset of Battery is the calibration module, which consists of a set of tests that go on automatically for up to 90 minutes. This is time well spent, though, because once the procedure is complete, the figures shown by the app will be as accurate as possible.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
This application has a really neat interface, with attractive icons and smooth graphics, while the menu navigation is seamless. The customization possibilities are limited and could receive some extra options, so that users can have more control over the appearance. |
Function9
The fact that users can calibrate the app so that it uses real data instead of estimations, is a great advantage, even if the time it takes to carry out the operation can be rather extensive. Battery covers all the essential usage scenarios, so users are presented with really useful information. |
Security7
The utility will need the location services to be up and running and it also accesses phone and owner identities, multimedia libraries and the phone dialer. |
Battery8
The battery usage is minimal while the app runs in the background, only during the calibration will it have a more significant impact on the resources and thus the power consumption will increase. |
Price9
This application looks like a steal since it offers a lot of information inside an attractive package. There is, nonetheless, a catch to this, namely the advertisements shown in the lower side of the screen. |
Compatibility8
Battery feels comfortable on pretty much any Windows Phone 8 or higher device with a screen resolution of HD720P (720x1280), WVGA (480x800) or WXGA (768x1280). |
