Increase Vista Battery Life with Vista Battery Saver

Windows Vista in its default mode with Aero Glass and Gadget Sidebar enabled, compromises on battery life. My notebook with full brightness gives me around 2.5 hours, which is pretty dull compared to Ryan’s notebook, but I was able to extend it to 3 hours with a free application called Vista Battery Saver.

It smartly disables Aero Glass effect and Gadget Sidebar while running on battery and automatically puts your notebook into performance mode while plugged-in to a power source. More than battery, it saves your time. Prior to installing Vista Battery Saver, I had to manually switch between power saver and performance power profiles.

After installing Vista Battery Saver, it automatically starts with Windows and quietly sits in your system tray without causing much resource hog. I was able to extract 30 -40 more minutes of juice out of my battery running on full brightness.

  • All the Laptops are equipped with 6 cell Lithium Ion baterry. If you have got the money replace it with 9 cell Lithium Ion battery,easily you can get one more hour of battery power.

    if you can get your work done from windows xp it self try to switch to windows xp instead of windows vista.

    disable the windows vista aero interface.

    Sounds like smtg making good sence: vista takes to much power for your laptop actually. I 've tryed it on my laptop... 2.15h without doing anything... this program, i'm sure of, would have bought me some more time. With xp-pro though it lasts 4.20h without doing anything. (the same go's for a equal Linux version).
  • Blogulate: Home PCs are mostly connected to power source through out the day, so they rarely need this software
  • mm.. good option for travelers .. not for ppl who use pcs mostly at home
  • Right now I dont own a laptop, will try this when i get one soon.
