Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Battery Watcher at 4.5 against Batteries Assistant's 2.6. Battery Watcher also leads on review sentiment (71% vs 50%) and ratings volume (338 vs 22). Batteries Assistant's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
