Watts is a utility that lets you know when your battery is due for a calibration. I mentioned battery calibrations right? Well that brings me to the companion app (it’s not really a companion app but on laptops I always use them both).
#COCONUTBATTERY FOR IPHONE PLUS#
If you want to play with Plus and/or support development of future versions, $10 is more than worth it for an app some of us have been using since the PPC days. A paid version is now available called coconutBattery Plus but to me the additional features are not worth the $10. To read out iOS battery info you need at least iOS 7 on your device. Overall coconutBattery is a very useful tool and best of all it’s FREE! At the time of writing system requirements are macOS 10.11-10.14 but older versions are available (though with less features). I don’t have many PPC laptops left but when I had them in abundance I used coconutBattery to see how well battery calibrations performed. Here’s a snap of what coconutBattery has to say about my wife’s phone: If you want coconutBattery will save a history of that battery health as well. Just connect the device to your Mac with the USB cable and click the “iOS Device” tab. One of the features I use a lot is it’s ability to show you the health of your iPhone or iPad’s battery. It allows you to save a history too so you can see how your battery declines over time or how it improves after calibration. Want to know how the current state of your battery compares to when it was new? This is the app for you. In short it tells you the health of your laptop battery along with some other information such as age, cycle count, manufacturing date and temperature. Most of you reading this will have heard of coconutBattery. With that out of the way, here are two apps that complement each other really well.
#COCONUTBATTERY FOR IPHONE SERIES#
I do not use affiliate links and do not get kick backs from any of the developers I mention in this series so you can be sure that any mention and recommendation I make is based on good first hand experience.
Some of these tools you may know, others you may not. The idea is to cover a different tool every week or whenever time allows or the mood strikes. This is the first in a series called “Tools I use”.
