The Battery Usage Wattmeter Extension is a GNOME extension that displays charging/discharging consumption in Watts next to the battery percentage level. It provides real-time information about your device's power usage. By default, it updates every 4 seconds and does not display consumption info when the battery is fully charged.
This extension is a fork of the batt_consumption_wattmeter project.
Once installed, this extension runs seamlessly in the background, and you don't need to configure any settings. It will automatically display power consumption information next to your battery percentage. Settings exist to select a specific battery and change sync interval.
If you encounter any issues or have suggestions for improvements, please feel free to create an issue on the GitHub repository. Contributions in the form of pull requests are also welcome!
This extension is maintained by Jose H, with inspiration from the original batt_consumption_wattmeter project.
