Battery Widget Reborn

[Price: Free / $2.49]
Battery Widget Reborn is one of the best and most popular battery widgets out there. It’s great for general home screen use but one of its more useful features is DashClock Widget support.

Chronus Home and Lock Widget

[Price: Free with in app purchases]
Some may recognize Chronus as the widget commonly seen on the lock screens of devices running CyanogenMod (earlier versions). As it turns out, it comes in its own app for those who loved it and there is also DashClock Widget support. Unfortunately, in Android Lollipop, this app cannot be used in tandem with DashClock Widget due to permission conflicts which is a bummer. Still, if you’re on earlier versions of Android, this is one of those really good DashClock extensions.
