Keeping a record of the battery usage

As many users know that the battery remaining time depends on their usage, however many of them including me, would like to know for how long did the actually battery last?

It will be very useful if the program can save a record of the time our battery lasted in the past. So we know that my battery once lasted for 3 hours in a certain date and so on. This will be very helpful for people who wants to know the maximum time their batteries can last.

Because many of us do not use the battery from 100% till 0%, I suggest that the record would state something like [from 80% till 30% the battery lasted for 2 hours]. The program in this case should calculate the all the time from unplugging until plugging again excluding the time when computer is shut down, sleep or on hibernate state.

    This feature is included in BatteryBar Pro 3.4.4. Go to Preferences → Tools and check “Log battery status”. You can click the “Open log file folder” link to open the folder with BatteryStatus.log, which is a CSV formatted log file.

        I think this is would be a helpful tool i included in the program as I tend from time to time to cacluate the time in which I run on battery it. it gets difficult when I had to hibernate my laptops several times.

        I think this would be a good feature because calculating the time may be difficult. I may forget about the numbers after time and thus the report would be for a great hlep.

        thanks
