i recommend battery bar instead of using the super bar to monitor your battery
http://osirisdevelopment.com/BatteryBar/index.html
it gives more info than the standard windows battery monitor and slightly more info than the one you wrote about
it has a free and pro edition
the pro edition is currently on sale with a choose your price (the ranges are $1-$2 for 1 year, $3-$5 for 2 year and $6-$10 for lifetime)

super bar battery is a little too easy to close and it isn't disabling windows aero when i switch to battery, it takes to much space on my task bar as i have it set to never combine and show labels now battery bar is about 1/2 the length of one of the application bar/icon (sorry i don't know the name of those) although if you are using a task bar with multiple layers it will increase its height to fit all the rows
honestly i prefer battery bar but it is up to the individual to decide on what they want to use

also the page to download the super bar monitors is not in English so if you don't read German you will need to use an online translator
