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.

  • Cool tool, Good for travellers to save there battery life! Anyways, you said it doesn't cause MUCH resource hog, what if the user is running a 512MB RAM minimum requirement system of Vista, will it cause a hog or disturbance?
    I guess it won't cause anything bad when the software is removed from the laptop. :)
  • I'm curious to know what your laptop is, as I am contemplating a move to laptop too :D
  • I thought laptops had more battery time. I mean, if you can only use your laptop for 2.5 hours, I'd rather turn it off. I mean, anything I do will exceed 2.5 hours of work.
  • Right now I dont own a laptop, will try this when i get one soon.
  • mm.. good option for travelers .. not for ppl who use pcs mostly at home
