I'm looking for ways, similar to coconutBattery for OS X to figure out current health of battery for iOS devices.

As far as I remember from my 2g the only way to get this information is to jailbreak and use pmset from the device – mspasov Apr 8 '12 at 15:40

Found an easier way. Jailbreak your phone and install BatteryInfo Lite. It's a free, ad-sponsored application. Tested on iPhone 3gs, iPhone 4 and iPad and it works. BatteryInfo Lite provides the following useful information:

  • Temperature
  • Capacity (current, design, maximum)
  • Charge Level
  • Cycle count
  • Voltage
  • BootVoltage
  • Battery Serial number
  • Model number

Here is a screenshot of the application running on my iPhone 4.
