            I’m not sure how RMclock polls the battery. I use the standard Windows APIs to request the battery status from the battery driver every 5 seconds. The frequency of data updates is completely determined by the battery and the BIOS.

            My Dell reports status changes every 15 seconds. Some netbooks only report status changes when 1% of the battery has discharged. Some don’t even report basic information like discharge rate.

            Polling the battery status more frequently than 5 seconds won’t fix any of these issues.
