how long is the text the the battery reader test use? Since it stops reading after about 2 hours,and since most laptops i test can hold for 6-8hours+ it seems its inaccurate then.

Yeah, It's the book "Hamlet", and when BE was written most notebooks cant hold even 1.5 Hours at all.

Hi there, in the past was written that some day in the future we will receive BE3... How far away is some day? Or are you planning to release the source code so that other developers can upgrade BE2.7 to Windows 7 and 64 bit.

It it true htat BE3 was in development. But one problem is still exists in our way to new release. Money. This project is totally free, so we don't get any money from it. Ads give us some money only to pay hosting. So I cant promise anything.

Dear General Manager,

Привет. На 32-битной Win 7 последняя версия BE при завершении заряда начинает выдавать ошибки обращения к памяти, не формирует отчет и график. В 64-битной оси таких проблем нет. Что-нибудь посоветуете?:)

Приветствую. Попробуйте запускать программу от имени администратора. Возможно это решит проблему.

How do you derive the Electrical Information (Design,Fully Charged, and Current capacity) numbers?

I want to download the batery eater software

So just do it!

Battery eater doesn't detect the right amount of ram in my laptop. I've got 8gb loaded but it only detects it as 4gb. Checking on my system properties it detects 8gb. Is it a bug in the software?

Battery eater 1.xx and 2.xx is 32-bit native applications. Thus means it can't adress more then 4Gb of RAM. We look into future and will release 64-bit app too.

I can not find my battery model to check my battery life. The product # is FPCBP192.

Perhaps this information can't be acesses or not exists. Good luck!

I want to delete the program and other files completely from my computer with Win 7. I saw the video on yahoo.com recommending Battery Eater but it does not seem to serve my purpose at all. Kindly assist.

Just delete Battery eater folder. BE does not place any files in any other folders.

What version should I use for Vista? Thanks

Try latest. With regards.

when i download "BatteryEater" it automatically wants to open with "Photo Gallery" but says i have to download that too, does it really open with "photo Gallery"? oooor what do you recommend? help

What version do you try to execute?

I was trying to figure out how to work this and opened the Gauge.exe file. A black box appeared on my taskbar by the system side. I clicked it, and it went behind the taskbar. I wouldn't have noticed, except I'm running Windows 7, so the taskbar is translucent. The black box is annoying and occasionally the numbers in it change, drawing my attention to it. I deleted all the BE data and emptied my recycle bin, but lo and behold, the black box isn't gone. There's a process in the Task Manager called Gauge.exe, but I was hesitant to end it because I don't know if it's the right one.

It is this one. Unfortunately this utility does not work properly with AeroGlass theme. Hoping it will be fixed in BE3. Thank you for your feedback.

thank you!!

And thank you too!

To remove the folder you need to end the BEPro.exe process... Go to task manager/processes, then END PROCESS for BEPro.exe, once that's shut down then you can remove the folder.

Can not remove your folder. Took ownership. Still not able to remove. This a virus???

Probably Battery eater is still running.

how do i remove be2003v104.zip from my computer? it keeps saying i need permission to do so. i want it off my computer since it is not doing what i thought it would. i put it on after seeing about it on yahoo.com. i just want it gone.

Just remove the folder.

hi

Hello 8)

Before using BE I need to disable Power4Gear on my Asus notebook ? Or modufy the power settings ?

Preferable.

Battery eater pro v2.70 display "Failed to set data for "Battery Eater '05' "

Tested my ultraportable system with a movie and it runs over 6 hours on full brightness. But, BE sucks my battery in less than 2 hours. That's nuts!

Welcome to the real world. :)

I use BE with WinXP Pro with SP3 and when i put the power plug in to charge the battery and power on the notebook i receive Access Violation error's. How can we slove this problem?

continuing my answer, how i could do "stress test" ? using this software ? it could not do, because right now refusing charging and laptop died if i unplug the ac chord.

Kompatible with Windows 7?

cannot get battery eater to work on fujitsu siemens running vista get error message..with Pro v2.70 access violation at 00461179 in module BEpro.exe Read of address 00000358.

Try to start it "from administrator". It can help.

Can't get any version of battery eater to run at all on my old WIndowsME Sony laptop. Error message with Pro v2.70 "Access violation at address 0044FD63 in module 'BEPRO.PRO'. Read of address FFFFFFFF.

BE have no support for Win9x.

Would like to see it working with UPS-es too :))

It can be done win manual mode.

When will version 3.0 will release? And how to got it?Thanks!

When it's done.

Hi,i saw that version 3 is available as beta,where can i download it to test it ? My Email : stalingraddd[:]gmail[:]com

my laptop lenovo x61, after using battery eater in 76% my laptop is died, if i turned on, my laptop refuse charging, why is this happened?

Your notebooks seems to be not newer one, so battery may die away already. Stress test may catalyze this process. Battery controller often show wrong values of charging level on old batteries (more than 1 year). This show up that you must replace or repair you battery pack sooner or later.

My Notebook is Toshiba R500 on WinXP SP3.

I also experience similar access violation at address 00461179 in module 'BEPro.exe'. Read of address 00000358. My BE is 2.70

The few times that I have gotten BE to run without errors - I get no data in the graph like shurcooL See the HTML output here http://i50.tinypic.com/14awq50.jpg and here http://i49.tinypic.com/f25xec.jpg The log.txt has this as the first line after header info [4:51:44 PM] 86580 125042692 and it has this as the last line: [6:10:51 PM] 17649

This error seems to be quite repeatable for me - but it does not to it 100% of the time. Here is a picture of the screen http://i48.tinypic.com/13zocw8.jpg

BE Pro 2.70 on a Dell Latitude D620 running XP SP3 & NTFS. I set BE to use classic mode and to start data collection when power was removed. I removed power and let the battery run down. When I reconnected power and started the computer - BE started to load, but gave this error: "Access violation at address 004038BF in module 'BEPro.exe'. Write of address 00000004."

Battery eater pro v2.70 display "Failed to set data for "Battery Eater '05' "

I've ran BE v2.70 many times in the past and it always worked fine. But the latest time, after the Classic test completed (i.e. laptop turned off), I turned it on and I was dismayed to see the battery data was empty. It said run time was 0 minutes, and the graph was empty. I know it ran for many hours... I was using FAT32 system, maybe that's why?

We reccomend to use NTFS instead. NTFS provide no data loss.

After manual dump of the controller of the battery the test began to show the Maximum capacity 65156ah it is normal?

marat - maladec

V2.70 supports Windows 7? If not, any forecast for it?

I did the tests in one of our machines and I am struggling to see the results. They are. BEG. Is there any specific application to. BEG?

Just Drag and dpor this .BEG file on Battery Eater Icon and it will generate report in html automaticly.

Will you be building a Mac version of this?

No.

Same as 18.4.2007 - ruckb. Memory access violation. WinXP Pro SP3. Ideas?

the discharge rate in the report is 2147483648 mWh this is some bug <i

Maybe

Can I check battery life at movie playing operation with Battery Eater?

The correct message is " Unable to find suitable pixel format ". The SO is Windows Vista Business , BR , SP1.

The battery eater pro work with SiS chipset ? always that I run the Message " Unable Pixell " appear !!!!

Your graphic chipset do not have requested OpenGLsupport. Try to update video drivers.

how to uninstall?

Just delete. BE will not leave any kind of "junk" at your computer (i.e. registry keys, files or folders)

What is the minimum specification laptop and o/s to use?

Any laptop you want. Windows NT and any OS after it. Windows 95/98/Me if worked but not supported.

When I run a Classic test OpenGL windows shows only grey pattern and nothing is rendered. How to fix it? Dell D600 with Mobility Radeon 9000.

Which version can support Windows7 x64bit?

Noone

Which version can support Windows7?

every single versions of BE is not tested on Vindows 7 yet.

Rabotaet !!!!

Just downloaded Battery Eater Pro v2.70 and my antivirus (Trend Micro Office Scan) shows the download containing 3 malwares - is this a false positive reading for the antivirus?

Why in the battery information the designed capacity (51840 mWh) is much higher than the actual current capacity (35748 mWh)? I mean why is there a such big difference? Is there any way to maximize the current capacity? By the way excellent program :)

Perhaps your battery is not actually new. All batteries lost some capacity every day. Not much, but it can be twice less for a year. Want more - buy new battery.

Where can i upload Macedonian translation, sorry for double post, regards

thanks :)

i've made Macedonian translation for BEPro for version 2.70

You can send it by email. darthman AT batteryeater.com

I just used this for my new travel laptop (a MSI Wind) and it's a great application. Any thoughts of porting this to a Mac? Apple recommends reconditioning the battery every month, and this is perfect for it.

I get questions for porting BE to WinMobile, Linux, Mac not for first time. There is still big problem for porting. Battery Eater was developed in Borland Delphi.

BE Pro 2.70 not identifying SATA disks under Vista. I know Vista isn't supported, but looking for some input.

My main problem seems to be getting the BEupdated program to work ( I managed once without a crash) and to get the videa of the revolving battery to work ( i managed it once without a crash) . Most of the time i just get a gray screen with no video. IBM THinkpad T42 running XP Pro.

Nice idea. I bouht 2 IBM T42's and decided to see how good the batteries were before and after reconditioning. Both machines are identical but i've only managed to use the program once on one machine, all other times it just froze up & crashed. Not had a program crash on me since Win98 years ago , keep up the good work though I do realise its only freeware...

BE crashed on startup and couldn't produce the report. Is there another way to use the .beg and .log files to generate the report?. What is the log file? Is it the evolution of discharge?

Yes. There are other way : drag and drop .beg file over BePro.exe file, and Battery Eater will create report from it.

what program will view .beg files?

Only Battery Eater

Trend Micro CS detects PAK_Generic.001 & 005 viruses when using BEupdated. Not good.

Some antiviruses are very stupid. Battery Eater have no viruses or trojans (see softpedia check). There are data packers in BE that identified by some stupid antiviruses as viruses.

Is there a readme file for Battery Eater? I'm doing some laptop testing and I was wondering how does Battery Eater call the CPU for the stress testing?

2.70 crashes 1 minute into Classic test locks up requiring power off

Hi! I'm trying to test on a MSI that has a ATI Xpress200M and crashes... when I unplug the DC, the screen of battery eater stays blank... and nothing happens... any help??

hi everybody, i've made czech translation for BEPro, for version 2.70 its here: http://mikrom.cz/index.php?docs&file=57 , enjoy!

Thanks a lot! It will be included in latest bePro 2.7

Good idea but crashes a IBM T30 real hard! Re-boot necessary to recover. Any ideas?

Does Battery Eater support Vista x64 ?Can run it under Vista x64 ?

Only battery eater 3. 2.xx not tested for support Vista.

When running on Vista device after battery has run out... i resume windows and get error message "B" i can click ok but i get no graph or anything else.

Hi, sorry for the stupid question regarding charge and discharge log unter normal operation conditions .. I found how to do it ... The only interesting extension might be to log the discharge Power in addition ... and I got the discharge log in the meantime too. Due to the Memory access violation I somehow clicked also on the "Do not touch anything" OK button ...

^Hi, and one last message: I checked also the Forums. Even in some parts I see messages in the overview I get the comment "no message" when looking into this formums ... thanks .... ruckb

Hi, I kept my messages short, because of the single input line ... But I definitly wanted to say: Great Tool!!!!

Hi, I would be also interested in logging the charging and discharging under normal operation conditions. Is this possilbe ? thanks ... ruckb

Hi, I got also an momry access violation under Win2k. The discharge cylce worked fine, but during the charging cycle all 5 seconds a new memory access violation window popped up. Any idea on this ? After the cycle was completed (and hundrets of pop ups ;-) ) I had only a log on the discharge cycle, but not for the charging cylce. Thanks for any feedback ... ruckb

I have a problem under Win Me:Acces Violation at Adress 004512B3 in Module "BEPRO.exe"Read os Adress FFFFFFFF.Can you help me?

Windows 9x is not supported by any version of BE.

Just to let you know. Aviras Antivir (free-av.xxx) refuses the updater. "The trojan horse (TR/Delphi.Downloader.Gen) was found". Guess, that's one of the annoying false alarms.

We guess it because UPX (universal packer for executables). This utility makes EXE files smaller.

After test your software my battery laptop refuse charging....???

Can You please tell me what is "Gauge 75%"

Поздравляю с НГ! Желаю счастья в личной и семейной жизни ;)

Buon giorno! Of cource You can! Just send me unicode version of updated Language.ini file. Then I'll update one at site and programm too.
