BatteryCare is a software created to optimize the usage and performance of the modern laptop’s battery. It monitors the battery’s discharge cycles and helps increasing it’s autonomy and improving it’s lifetime.

Features:

• Battery discharge cycles monitoring – When the configured number of discharge cycles is reached, a notification balloon pops up to remind that a full discharge is required.
• Complete battery information – Shows all the detailed information about the battery such as wear level, capacities, consumption, manufacturer.




• Notification area information – In battery mode, the notification icon shows the remaining time and percentage of battery.
• Automatic power plans switching – Depending on the power source of the computer, BatteryCare can automatically select the power plan you prefer.
• Control over Windows Aero and demanding Services – Automatically disable the graphics accelerated theme in Windows Vista or demanding services that degrade battery lifetime. Once the laptop stops running on batteries, the theme is re-enabled and the stopped services are restored.
• Auto-updates – No need to trouble in downloading new installers, when a new version is available, the program updates itself.
• Lightweight in the system – Given the concern about the battery optimization, BatteryCare does not interfere with the system performance. It requires only a mere 0.1% of Processor and Memory resources.

Changelog:

• New: Power plan automatic switching is now supported in Windows XP.
• New: The program now registers all the discharge cycles performed.
• Bug fix: A crash occurs when the user did not select one power plan and the power plan auto-switching option is active.
