This hack does not work with OS 3.5!

This program replaces the battery symbol in the PalmOS launcher application with a customizable symbol and an additional value. This value can be configured to display the absolute battery voltage or the battery level in percent.

Furthermore the whole battery handling of the Palm can be switched between alkaline, NiCd, rechargeable alkaline (only on OS 3.3), NiMH and Lithium batteries. This is extremely useful with a Palm running on rechargebles.

Just tap at the new battery symbol and change the settings!

There have been reports of incompatibilities between this battery hack and Launch'Em. I don't have access to the sources of Launch'Em, but i was told, that it hacks into the same routines, the battery hack uses. This may cause the system to crash. Please do not use both programs at the same time (or try to solve the problem :-).
