Checking the battery charge level

The battery status (charging, discharging) and level (as a
percentage of full charge) are displayed at the top of the screen.
Monitoring and controlling what uses the battery
The Battery Use screen shows which applications consume the most
battery power.
You can also use it to turn off applications that you have downloaded,
if they are consuming too much power.
1. On the Home screen, touch the Menu key M > Settings > About
phone > Battery use.
The Battery Use screen lists the applications that have been using
the battery, from greatest to least battery use.
The top of the screen displays the time when the phone was last
connected to a charger. If connected, the amount of time the phone
was running on battery power before connected is displayed.
Then each application or service that used battery power during
that time is displayed, in order of the amount of power they used.
2. Touch an application to learn details about its power consumption.
Different applications offer different kinds of information. Some
applications include options that open screens with settings to
adjust power use.
