It sounds like you receive complete and accurate information with a
simple
key stroke. I imagine you could only do that where that key combination
doesn't interfere like in outlook express for example.

JawsKey + Shift + b.
Now this doesn't always work the same all of the time or on all
computers.
On this ThinkPad X series it reads the status when unplugged but doesn't
seem to be able to find the spot when plugged in.
I believe you have to have the battery meter showing in the system tray
and
you can always see it if it is there by opening that menu with JawsKey +
F11. When looking at it that way you will also see if it is charging.
After that it depends on the software and that depends on the computer. I
can click on that and make changes to the battery settings like various
power saving options. I have a second battery in my CD bay most of the
time
and I can see information about the status of each battery including age
and
how many times each has been cycled.
I suppose this is a lot more than you wanted to know but it is all done
using Jaws.

It's fine so long as you're doing it with jaws in the mix.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Checking the Status of a Laptop Battery
Not sure if this is appropriate for this list, or if I should have put
it
on
Blind-computing, but here goes.
Once I get my new laptop, how to I check, with JAWS, the battery status
so
that I know when it needs a charge?..For instance, on my PACMate, the
battery level is on the Today sceen...On my cell phone running Windows
Mobile with MobileSpeak, I just double-tap a section of the screen to
get
the battery status.
Thanks.
Wes
