Abstract
A battery charge level monitor for a computing system is presented. The monitor stores a value representing the charge stored in a battery. The value is varied to take into account battery charge depletion resulting from operations by the computing system, and to take into account charge added to the battery by a recharger. An operator can access the value through computer commands or by automatic display of the value by the computing system.
