Dual Battery Widget
IMPORTANT! It is possible that the widget will not immediately appear in the widget list after installation. To refresh the widget list, you should either restart your device (long press the power button and shut down, the start again), or restart the launcher app (Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications -> All -> Launcher -> Force stop).Do this after installing the widget, then go to your home screen, tap the "+" in the top right corner of your screen, go to the widgets tab, and scroll to the right. You will find the widget there.
This is a Battery Widget that displays the status for the internal battery, and the secondary battery in your dock station. It is mostly intended for the Asus Eee Pad Transformer tablet (which is the only device that currently reports the dock battery life). All other devices will only show the main battery icon.
The widget is resizable, and can be as little as 1 cell on your screen, or fill your whole home screen! Advanced options allow you to change the size and the position of the status text, and hide the second battery gauge when it is disconnected.
It will also store the battery history and display the stored values in a chart for later review.
Any feedback is welcomed!If you have a device that has access to a secondary battery, but this widget does not identify it, drop me an e-mail with the device model, so that I can add support for it.

I cannot stand the look of the Asus widget so I looked for a replacement and here it was! It works perfectly on my Transformer Infinity. The only things I would add are the options to change the color of the batteries so the user can make it blend better with themes and change the lighting bolt symbol (when charging) to highlight the outline of the batteries instead and be able to pick that color as well, but that is just a personal preference. The widget works perfectly!
It looks good, it works well, it can tell you everything you need to know about your battery. The only thing I would add is a way to see the charge/discharge rates, but this widget is already great.
Beautiful design and great features for docked tablets like the tranformers. It would be my favourite battery widget app if only the widget would refresh automatically... on my device I need to open the app and close it again for the perentages to update. This makes the app unusable!
This is easily the best widget for Transformer tabs but unfortunately it only shows the tab battery and not the dock in Lollipop (Android 5.x). please make it compatible with Lollipop, dev and I'll rate 5 stars! :)
but idont know how to use it please help me and nice work you pay it to do a app like this and i think its work and good idea :)
I can't uses this app It can't show out the docking battery Long time show out " not docked "
I just rate 5 stars for respect. Cant see the second battery. My mobile device is samsung. I think this widget is only for Asus
I use this on my Transformer TF101 with the keyboard/battery expansion. This is the only app I could find that shows the levels of both batteries in the device. It has a nice looking widget that shows me the levels on my desktop easily. Perfect.
I don't know how to use it. Please tell me how to use it if want 5 stars
no graphic display and no battery display in notification area. uninstalled after trying to get this to work for over 30 minutes.
Would like to see a temp and voltage on the widget. Temp above voltage below. Using this on my phone since it was so nice on the Transformer.
Doesn't work properly on the early nightlies of CyanogenMod 10, but I loved it on other ROMs I've used.
AWSOME,I REALY NEED IT CUASE WHEN ARE TEACHER SAID TO PLAY GODGETS AND I CAN USE 1 FOR SCHOOL 1 FOR HOUSE
just a few minutes into this app. great replacement and way more options than the original TF700T batteries widget. really smooth.
How could I use this app? Is it helpful? I don't know if it will make the app put another battery on my Asus Zenfone 6 or it will save more battery (Example like if my battery is very low, this app changes another charged saved battery)... (Sorry, Im not good for using english language... (Im a Filipino)) Then I will add another star for this app if i know how. Please Reply, Thanks.
how do u know its charging I really don't want to delete it because the name and everything sounds pretty good so pls help
It dosnt work with Samsung galexy s3. Dont really know how to us it either its just a blank black screan, not very many options
transformer tf300t katkiss 5.1.1 rom showing only main batterry. May not be your issue but something in the OS. otherwise good app
Vidget not show properly battery's status: only after restarting of it, I need to do it each time. Asus transformer TF101, android 4.1
Does work with older ASUS tablet with faux battery/keyboard
It would have been better if the time left till Battery drained was shown.
I use this on an Asus Transformer TF-101 so I can tell the battery level of the docking station. Unfortunately, it only updates when I unplug or plug in the dock. It's still helpful, but not as much so as I'd like.
This is a good app, it works well on my tf101 before and after I rooted it and flashed to a custom rom
This is the best battery widget for my Transformer TF101. The developer provided great support and fast response to my queries too. Keep up the good work! Thanks.
had to redo cause after a day neither battery meeter is working right. base shows not charging & 87% tablet shows not charging & 90% but it was fully charged from the 2 green lights show it as charged.
After struggling to see any indication of the battery status on the icon on my homescreen i suddenly realised its a widget. Go to the widget area of your tablet and drag the widget to your screen, Voila! so happy!!!
Like saved battery is life. Because I was complaint against to low is battery weak not orignal.
It would be nice if the notification icon had numbers. Great app overall, but that would bring it over the top. Love the widget!
I love this widget, use it everyday on my tablet on half of the screen, simple and great.
This is really a great app. I got my docking station yesterday and I was satisfied, except for the fact that I had no way of knowing how much battery power was left. This is the perfect app for that. It has a professional feel to it. You can resize the widget and put it wherever you want, and it even has a graph that tells you the battery level over the past day or so. Overall, I think this is almost necessary for anyone who has an ASUS transformer because it fills a very noticeable niche that really needs filling.
