Windows battery meter utility suggestions

Can you suggest a good battery meter utility for Windows? Battery status being graphically displayed in the taskbar is the (obvious) minimum requirement. Anything else the utility can inform or do is a plus.

"BatteryBar works on XP, Vista and Windows 7. This is the one I eventually ended up using and would recommend. Article on it from LifeHacker here, see image below:

If you want to use something neat for just Vista/Windows 7, BattCursor is my other recommendation. It has the added ability of disabling the Aero theme at a certain battery level to help squeeze a few extra minutes' juice out of the battery. It can even change the colour of the taskbar or mouse cursor.

Both are freeware."
