Vista drain a battery! and Vista Battery Saver is very useful

Yesterday, I posted a beta version of Vista Battery Saver. It made a lot of wind over the statement, that Vista Aero Interface together with Windows Sidebar drain your laptop battery.

The same day at night, Nick White from development team wrote, that he has a hesitation about this statement in Windows Vista Blog. Even Jeff Atwood called me to stop voodooing… But now I have evidence, that approve my doubts. Here is comes.

Dell Latitude D820 with Windows Vista Ultimate on it works one hour more on battery without Aero and Sidebar running

If you do not believe me, here my proves.

Here the comparison of 20 minutes of working (regular everyday working) in my computer with and without Vista Battery Saver. It 5% difference of final charge rate. We can solve simple equation to understand, that if my battery loss 16% with Aero and 11% without in 20 minutes, it’ll be completely empty within about 2 hours with and within about 3 hours without those fun features. So I was completely right, writing this simple yet useful program.

I realize, that it’s possible that the part of sidebar is much more, then the part of aero, but it still makes a lot of sense to use such savers.

For those, who really interested with calculations, raw excel file is attached.

UPD 18-May-07: Following James comment, I’ve check the influence of hardware disabling on battery power. Results speaks for itself. Take a look.

I disabled everything I can – WiFi, DVD, wire and wireless modem, soundcard, BlueTooth, SmartCard reader and Audiocard and run the same test

Here comes ~~the king~~ results

For those, who need explanations – that exactly the same results as it was with Aero On. So, what’s the conclusion? You tell me

Attachment updated as well with new results

Does anyone know of a similar program that works in Windows XP? The feature I particularly want to have is to be able to control when a laptop with both AC and battery should charge the battery. My situation is, even with AC plugged in and a fully charged battery inside, the battery will somehow show to be 99% left. Then the battery begins to charge… I do not want the charging taking place all the time; so what I want is a software with which I can tell only below what % charge left should I let the AC charge the battery.

Thanks!!

This program should be useful for desktop computers as well.

Disabling the the power hungry features should reduce my electric utility bill.

Thankyou for helping me save money…. and making my pc more green.

The next time I read a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as a lot as this one. I imply, I do know it was my option to learn, however I truly thought youd have one thing interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about one thing that you would fix when you werent too busy looking for attention.
