Script to Display Battery Stats in Terminal
Click to download a perl script that displays the percent charge left on your battery as well as an estimate of the time remaining. Use something like GeekTool to display this on your desktop if you hide your menu bar.
See this post to see how I integrate this onto my desktop:

Caveat emptor: This *barely* works well. But it suits my needs, and hopefully it suits yours.
