Laptop battery running out too soon? Battery Optimizer scans a laptop’s power use, then lets you choose adjustments and save them in profiles for later use.
Power diagnostics and estimates
A scan examines the laptop’s power settings and identifies changes that could reduce battery use. Battery Optimizer pairs its recommendations with estimated time savings.
The recommendations can involve disabling selected hardware or services. The available choices depend on the laptop’s settings and the features in use; switching something off may affect access to that function.
Saved optimization profiles
After choosing recommended changes, save the configuration as a profile. Profiles provide a way to switch between saved settings for different usage situations without selecting each adjustment again.
- Use a saved profile to apply its power-related settings.
- Create different configurations for different laptop-use situations.
Battery monitoring and alerts
Battery Optimizer can track battery use over time and send an alert when usage rises past a threshold set by the user. Its remaining-time display can also show how long the charge may last when Windows does not provide that figure.
Pros
- Estimates battery-time savings for recommended changes
- Saves hardware and service settings in profiles
- Can show remaining battery time when Windows does not
Cons
- Turning off hardware or services can restrict access to those functions
