If you have a laptop and want to improve the battery lifespan, don't look further, this is the app for you!
After the first charging cycle, the vendors recommend to don't fully charge the battery every time, but to stop the process at 90%, 80%, or even at 70% of its level.
Unfortunately Windows alone doesn't inform us when the limit in charging is reached, that's why I built Battery Status Alert, a simple application that monitors the battery level and warns the user whether the charging or discharging level is beyond or under the level, popping up the windows or blinking the icon in the systray.
Among the features:
- The limits can be setup to the vendor's suggestions;
- The popup window can be disabled, in that case only the blinking systray will take action;
- The monitoring of the minimum level can be completely disabled, in that case only the Windows native alert will work.
