Battery Spy
Free AppAbout Battery Spy
Battery Spy allows you to monitor your Android device's battery level by reporting the current percentage, and providing more detailed information such as charge rate, temperature, voltage and usage times. The current battery percentage level is displayed on the notification bar. Additional statistics are shown in the notification bar pull down, and even more insight into your battery charge and usage history in the main application screen.
Battery Spy works simply by gathering battery statistics that are already available in the Android OS. What you see is what the OS reports. Battery Spy gathers up the information, organizes it, then displays it in a graph and tables for you. It also uses the information to give you an estimate of time left on battery or to full charge. Statistics are gathered and saved over a settable number of days so you can review them at any time.
Key features include:
1. Support for multiple battery profiles so you can differentiate between OEM or backup (after market) batteries, and different usage styles such as work, weekends and vacation. Create as many profiles as you want and quickly switch between them. This feature is available during the trial period, then only with the full license after.
2. Enable notifications for when the battery level rises above or falls below a settable percentage. This feature is available during the trial period, then only with the full license after.
3. Enable notifications for when the battery temperature rises above or falls below a settable degree. This feature is available during the trial period, then only with the full license after.
4. Quick access to settings that directly affect battery use so you don't have to hunt them down when you need them
5. Tap on the statistics table to go directly to the Android Battery Use screen.
6. Configurable graph that supports both 2D and 3D presentations.
7. Low CPU and resource consumption to not add (too much) to battery drain.
8. Run as a service when phone starts up, or manually.
Try Battery Spy free for 10 days and keep using it after the trial period as a free license with reduced functionality, or purchase the full license to unlock the application to its full functionality. Even without the full license features, Battery Spy still provides a rich feature set for the casual user.

Best battery-level app so far. Graph can scroll back a week and zoom in on an hour or zoom out to see the whole week. I like the indicator in top taskbar/panel as it gives precise % value. My use-case is to compare different rechargers and to help me correct 'smart' chargers when they go dippy. I wish I could export the graphs and I'd like give more kudos to the devs of this fantastic app. I might pay for the licence, just to reward the devs. Very happy with this invaluable app. :))))

Good functionality and lots of good data. As someone mentioned, it seems there's no way to get rid of the notification icon. Also wondering if I could export the logged data.

Your trial period has expired - upgrade to pro version. That's just not right, there was nothing about trial version in the app description. It does show something about battery but none of the apps show the real capacity of the battery, so when it diminishes over time - you'll never know it w/o a special device like USB charger doctor - $3.5 w/free shipping and you can see the real values of your phone battery capacity, your powerbank capacity and so on.

But then I changed my phone to Redmi 2. There's already battery app setting from Redmi 2 to do the scheduling n create profile modes, just like what I used from Du battery saver. So, I just need a battery app showing statistical graph of my battery use, n found this app which serves the purpose. It works to what I need, n it's very light on storage n ram. However, it still lacks detailed stats like Battery sense app on my windows phone. I wanna buy full version, but this app isn't actively supported anymore

I think it's a pretty awesome app, but developer should give user option to adjust resource usage. There are many ways to implement that. I'll probably send an e-mail about it. Buying the paid version will probably depend on it, I don't know.

This is one of the best, if not THE best battery management apps on the Google Play store. I downloaded a bunch of them to test drive, and this one was my favorite. The free version is fully functional, but it's totally worth the $1.50 for the paid licence in my opinion. Developers who build quality software deserve support.

I've been using the paid version for a couple of years & have none of the crashing others report (Note II, android 4.4.2). Still, glad to see yesterday's update that adds wireless charging support many asked for. As for the icon most complain about, I've never even noticed it myself, but with so many complaints hopefully it'll be fixed next. What I'd love to see is an improvement to the chart, so as we slide over time, the number boxes on top would show values for the time centered on graph. Logical.

This app has great potential but it needs to be worked on. Interface needs improvement but the data that it reports is good. I like the ongoing reporting of %/hour.

There's a small amount of numbers you have to recognize and I believe that Mr Kilpatrick is having a hard time with that. Maybe his dog can teach him how to count so he can use this app correctly! 5 stars

by Q####:
It used to be one of the better battery management apps (I even bought a license!) ...but it's been abandoned. No updates since 2014. I recommend avoiding Battery Spy entirely at this point. There are dozens of better alternatives available.
