Optimize your Notebooks' Batteries with BatteryCare

Notebook users are always concern about their notebooks’ lithium ion batteries exploding in front of their faces when they got overheated. That is not the only worry notebook users must face. Another lesser-known notebook battery issue is the problem of wear and tear of a battery.

So what exactly happens when a battery shows wear and tear and is about to expire? Normally, your battery life will become shorter. It will take a longer time to be recharged back to full capacity and apart from that, users can spot nothing else anymore.


BatteryCare Free is a useful utility for notebook users to monitor their battery status, control its usage and power consumption and warn on issues that will shorten their battery’s life span. To explain what it does technically, it monitors the battery's discharge cycles and helps increasing its autonomy and improving its lifetime.

Here are some of the features of BatteryCare:

· Battery's discharge cycles monitoring


The advanced algorithm accurately records when a complete discharge cycle is performed.
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


It calculates the statistical remaining time in laptops that don't support the battery time left information and only list the charge percentage.
Shows all the detailed information about the battery, such as wear level, capacities, consumption, manufacturer, etc.

· 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 and/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.

All I can say is thanks (?) to Filipe Lourenço who developed this little useful tool and help us protect our laptop battery!

BatteryCare works with Windows XP, Vista and 7 and requires Microsoft .NET Framework v2.0 & above to run. If your PC suits the requirements, then download BatteryCare Free today and start protecting and optimizing your notebook’s battery!
