One thing that we as humans will never be able to perfect is approximating the amount of time left for a computer task, and that includes showing the amount of remaining battery in our wonderful electronics. The battery was first invented in 1799, over two hundred years ago, yet its amount of power remaining still remains a mystery to us. What can predict when a battery is really low on energy? The truth is, we really have no idea. Battery scientists have spent thousands of hours of labor trying to resolve this issue, but no further breakthroughs have yet been obtained. Will the truth ever be revealed, or will it remain mysterious forever such as its close brother, the gas gage? The world may never know.
