Vista Battery Saver Alternatives
Vista Battery Saver is described as 'This tiny program will save up to 70% of your battery by disabling those nice, but greedy Vista features. Running in task bar with private workset of 5'. There are four alternatives to Vista Battery Saver for Windows and Mac. The best alternative is Last Real Shutdown, which is free. Other great apps like Vista Battery Saver are Aerofoil (Free, Open Source), Fruitjuice (Paid) and BattCursor (Free Personal).
- Aerofoil extends Vista and Windows 7 notebook battery life by: * Allowing you to manually disable Aero Glass. * Optionally managing Aero Glass user interface. * Optionally managing sound muting.
- FruitJuice is a Mac application and online service that helps maximize Apple notebook battery life and runtime. FruitJuice makes it possible to follow Apple’s recommendations for ensuring longer battery life and accurate “time remaining” estimates when running on battery.
- BattCursor: Shows the battery charge in percent directly below the mouse cursor and offers many other battery-saving features, like diming down the display brightness for inactivity, and automatically disable the Windows Sidebar and Aero Glass.
