Microsoft is giving Windows 11 a battery icon makeover, but for those seeking a detailed analysis of their PC’s battery health, “Battery Flyout” is your go-to app. Created by Michał Łeptuch, this third-party tool not only lets you toggle power modes but also provides in-depth charts showing your system’s battery consumption. Recently, Battery Flyout got a significant update.
While some of Battery Flyout’s features are already available in Windows 11 or are about to be introduced, this app combines all things battery into one seamless interface. It’s perfect for accessing battery percentage, a feature Microsoft is currently testing in Windows 11.
With Battery Flyout, there’s no need to wade through Windows 11’s Settings app for battery info or tweaks. It includes a neat feature—an 18-hour battery usage chart accessible with just one click from your system tray.
On top of tracking your PC’s power status, Battery Flyout can also monitor the battery levels of connected accessories. You can even set up notifications to alert you when your PC’s battery is running low.
The latest update has enhanced compatibility with Windows PCs powered by Snapdragon. Now, the power slider works flawlessly on devices equipped with ARM64 architectures, such as the Surface Pro 11 and Surface Laptop 7.
Here’s what’s new in the updated Battery Flyout, as shared by the developer:
– The power slider now functions on ARM64 devices.
– You can generate a detailed battery report, covering areas like a PC summary, daily or weekly battery levels, battery details, and energy-saving suggestions.
– Several minor tweaks improve the app’s stability and performance.
– Additional settings for the tray icon’s style.
Michał Łeptuch isn’t just known for Battery Flyout; he’s also the developer behind Calendar Flyout, revered as one of the top apps for customizing Windows 11. I’m eager to try Battery Flyout myself and see if it deserves a spot among the best apps for Windows 11—it looks promising so far.
Łeptuch’s portfolio includes some handy applications I use regularly. Fluent Emoji Gallery, for instance, lets you save emojis in several formats like SVG, PNG, GIF, and ICO. It features 3-D, 2-D, and monochrome options of Microsoft’s Fluent Emojis, making it a joy for those who love creating memes or need ready access to a variety of emoji formats.
Among his other creations are Ink Workspace, Input Switcher, and Media Flyout, each contributing to an enhanced Windows experience.
