May I also mention BatteryMonitor (batmon.app) from GNUstep? [*] It is more oriented to GNUstep and windowmaker, because it uses the nice App-Icon. So I don't think it blends well with certain WM's (like xfce, for example) However, it supports a wide range of kernels, operating systems, batteries, power schemes... Just because I am the author.
