ChargerChecker is a faceless background app that works in conjunction with Growl to give you on-screen notification when your laptop’s charger is connected or disconnected. After installing Growl use the Accounts pane in your System Preferences to add ChargerChecker to your login items and never worry about a discharged battery again.

With the release of the MacBook Pro, Apple also introduced a brand new power adapter that uses the MagSafe connector. While this innovative new feature can save your laptop from being jerked off the table by a careless passer-by, many people have complained that their power adapter becomes unplugged inadvertently without them ever knowing it. This can be a huge problem when you pull your laptop out in the airport to put the finishing touches on your upcoming presentation only to find that it was mistakingly unplugged and the battery is completely dead.
