Vista Laptop Battery Saver

Microsoft confirmed that Vista’s Aero theme is consuming more power which leads to a faster battery drain. They say it is not that much that people should get worried but I personally feel that Aero consumes to much power. I also think that it is a pretty useless feature of Windows Vista. Sure it looks nice but that’s it. The transparency feature of Aero will be disabled whenever you switch to Power Save mode.

This helps but is not enough for me at least. If I work on the road I want maximum battery life and not some fancy interface with Flip 3D tabs and the like. One way to achieve this would be to disable Vista Aero completely, another better way in my opinion would be to turn Aero off automatically when you disconnect the notebook from a power source.

This is what the Vista Laptop Battery Saver does. The little application which consumes only about 3.5 megabytes of memory waits until the laptop changes to battery mode and disables Vista Aero automatically. This is the best way to handle the immense memory consumption of Vista Aero.

thanks,Other small improvements in battery life may be gained by the ability to turn off USB ports individually to save power.

thanks,How about not keeping your laptop battery plugged in all the time. Take it out when you are using the power cord.

when saving documents, use a USB Pen Drive. This device uses static Flash memory as opposed to a spinning Hard Drive.This is a great way to save battery life!

I have a GPS system on my car bought from http://www.lweshop.com/ and it really has helped enormously in finding new locations. I found this blog most interesting as I didn’t realize all of the wide range of applications out there today for GPS technology

I got a laptop battery from http://www.bestebuy.co.uk/ for my apple Latitude notebook. My old one lasted just 1 hour after just about a year of use. Needed another one, and now things are back to normal.

Keep Your Batteries Clean - It’s a good idea to clean dirty battery contacts with a cotton swab and alcohol. This helps maintain a good connection between the battery and your portable device.
