Abstract

Apparatuses, methods, and program products are disclosed for projecting battery usage. By use of a processor, an expected battery usage rate of an application is determined. An estimated length of time a battery will power an apparatus if the application is executed is determined. The estimated length of time the battery will power the apparatus may be based on the expected battery usage rate of the application and a current remaining battery power. The estimated length of time together with a visual representation of the application is displayed.
