Elvyn

Shows how much power a Windows laptop is drawing, live.

Solo

Code

Battery telemetry for Windows laptops: voltage, current, power and charger state, read as they change.

How it works

  • Charger input is worked out as battery power plus what the system draws.
  • A colour-coded console view with a splash screen.

The hard part

Windows reports battery power in several places, and no single one can be trusted all the time.

It reads all of them at once: the hardware's own charge rate, capacity change over time, voltage times current and more. Each gets a confidence score, and the ones that agree are averaged.

A worn battery still reads true, because the maths uses its real full charge.
