Abstract
An arrangement and technique for providing an educated indication of battery consumption for any particular mobile terminal usage type. This allows the user to be provided with an accurate indication of the battery life remaining for the current usage type and also the battery life that is remaining for any other possible use of the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal preferably uses historical and/or statistical profiling for the different usage types to provide a meaningful indication of remaining battery life for at least one different usage type at any one time. In particular, the indication preferably includes a time representation that is specific to a usage type. The different usage types may include mobile television, game playing and voice calls.
