I was suggested to try out this program to determine my battery life on my MBP.  It’s quite cool!  I am looking for something similar for Linux/Win but nothing very interesting yet.

Excerpt from http://www.macupdate.com/:

“coconutBattery is a tool that reads out the data of your notebook-battery (iBook/Powerbook). It gives you live feedback, what’s going on in your battery (not only a snapshot like other tools).

It shows the current charge of your battery as well as the current maximum capacity related to its original. If coconutBattery detects that you have connected the wrong charger (i.e. an ibook-charger plugged in a powerbook) it will warn you! That’s a cool feature!”
