Get A Better Handle On Android Power Consumption

The majority of the time my Nexus One running build FRF50 of Android 2.2 gets through the day on a single battery charge. Unfortunately I do have to pay more attention to the battery life than I would like, and I find that Android’s battery indicator provides marginal information. Today I discovered the free Battery Left Widget that not only shows the percentage of battery life left, but translates that into an amount of time.

You actually get two widgets when you install Battery Left, a smaller 1×1 and larger 2×1 widget, both that display the same information only in different sizes.
