Re: I want to maximize my battery life
Well all of this depends on the number of cells you have?
3 Cell is rated at 3 hrs
6 Cell is rated at 6 hrs
12 Cell is rated at 12 hrs
Now not at top speed, so all those dual/quad core would have to be reduce in speed to get better battery life. That's while so many PIII Mobile had better battery life than the P4 laptops.
The software shown here is okay to me it's bloated and some features can be dangerous to most users like over clocking the GPU.
AMD has there own smaller software that run in XP/Vista. I am sure Intel as one too. Still thus reducing the CPU by less than 1.8GHz to 800Mhz will increase the battery.
I use 12 Cell I can get 2.6 hours on max speed. Reduce it to max battery then it's 4+hours with standby it's more like 6 hours. |

| I think... the OP is asking about life, not runtime.
Life as in how many years to expect/hope the battery to last before replacement.
*Most* machines have their own power management software/add-ons for runtime.
Performance/Adaptive/Battery Life
Some even allow fan speed management.
The software above was used to show battery wear in percentages.
Thanks for the input!
