3rd party laptop battery monitor programs ?

[boran]

I have a slight problem with my laptop that sometimes (mostly whane I have wlan connection) my battery status indicator on my laptop doesnt show up, no matter of fiddeling (enabling, disabling, rebooting, etc) brings it back, so I was wondering if there's any 3rd party battery monitoring programs for laptops that can sit in the system tray and take over that function, it's always handy to know how much battery % I have left.

Thanks in advance.

I use this program mainly to mointor my power settings but it also has a great battery meter that measures in minutes left.

BatteryMon, MobileMeter, and Battery Bar come to mind.
