-
- New Release
-
- NiCad(tm), is a memory-resident program which can display a
- pop-up "gas gauge" which shows how much time is left on a
- battery charge.
-
- With most laptop computers it is difficult to know how much
- power is left in the battery, especially if it has been used
- for many sessions of varying duration. NiCad alleviates this
- problem by using a timer algorithm to "predict" the charge
- left in the battery based on the last 10 discharge cycles. A
- pop-up "gas gauge" with the hours and minutes left in the
- battery can be displayed from within most programs.
-
- Several additional features distinguish NiCad. A deep
- discharge function helps to prevent unwanted "memory effects"
- that can reduce the capacity of nickel-cadmium (NiCad)
- batteries. Multiple alarms can be set to remind the user
- that the battery charge is getting low. An on-screen display
- can show the amount of battery charge or current time within
- most programs. A battery charge history function shows a bar
- graph of the last 10 battery discharge cycles.

-
- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
-
- NiCad requires a battery-powered portable computer running
- MS-DOS or PC-DOS version 2.0 or higher. The program requires
- 16K of memory when resident. A hard disk is recommended but
- not required.
