ZylBattery is a visual Delphi/C++Builder component that diplays the charging level of the battery in a chart. You can specify different colors for different charging levels and you can indicate it also in text format in percents.

Beside this, it has many other useful methods to:
- get battery status
- get AC line status
- get battery lifetime
- turn off the computer
- hibernate the computer
- suspend (standby) the computer
- reboot the computer
- turn off monitor
- run screen saver
- log off interactive user
- get Windows version
- enable hibernation
It has more power related events like:
- OnBatteryLow
- OnPowerStatusChange
- onsuspend
- OnQuerySuspend
- OnResumeSuspend
- OnResumeAutomatic and so on.

The demo version is fully functional in Delphi/C++Builder IDE, but it displays a nag dialog (the licensed version will, of course, not have a nag dialog and will not be limited to the IDE). The package includes demo programs for Delphi and C++Builder and a help file with the description of the component.

-Delete or rename the top folder where ZylBattery is installed
-Start regedit (click Start - Run, type "regedit.exe" and hit Enter). Open the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Borland\\\Palette and delete all name/value items in the list related to ZylBattery. ( is either "Delphi" or "C++Builder", is the IDE version you have installed)

-Unzip the zip file and open the ZylBatteryPack.dpk file in Delphi, compile and install it and add to Tools/Environment Options/Library (in older Delphi menu) or Tools/Options/Delphi Options/Library/Library Path (in newer Delhi menu) the path of the installation (where the ZylBattery.dcu file is located) or Tools/Options/C++ Options/Paths and Directories/Library Path (in newer C++Builder menu, in C++Builder 10 or later, set them also for the classic compiler) the path of the installation (where the ZylBattery.dcu or ZylBattery.dcuil file is located).
