Can't notice it, so I'd say it use very little battery, but I can not be sure.

Just run some tests of running a converted DVD 'Lord of the Rings' constantly and seeing how long the battery would last with wifi and most things disabled.

It lasted about 4 hours and 10 mins.

could you share what your application exactly measures? (where does those readings come?)

Install Battery-eye and you can see these reports of your battery use.

no, where does the reports appear to battery-eye?

is there a random number generator? does it read something from dbus? does it read something from /dev/? etc

I'm just guessing here but if I'd make that program, I'd use
Code:
lshal | grep battery.reporting.current;date
every 10 minutes or so, and store the values.

Looks like it reports 3 values from "lshal -u /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/bme" :

battery.voltage.current
battery.reporting.current
battery.charge_level.percentage

Large Kudos to the author. This application has lots of potential (estimating usage at current level etc.). Thanks!

It's interesting looking at the different graphs - the mAh graph doesn't show any drop off after charging, but I'd guess this is "backdated" after unplugging, as this bme value doesn't update while plugged in. Similarly, the % graph is presumably interpreted from the mV graph during this period (the mV figure seems to be the only one updated while plugged in).
