Laptops are essential for business. Without the ability to un-tether yourself from your office, much work would go undone. Parallel to the importance of having a laptop is having a laptop with a battery that will last you long enough to get your work done. If you have an updated laptop, more than likely you have Vista running that machine. And if you have Microsoft Windows Vista running your machine you might notice that your battery isn't getting nearly the life that the same laptop did when it was running XP. But fret not; there are ways to solve that fast battery drainage. Let's take a look at some methods to optimize your battery power consumption.

Vista Battery Saver Utility
The Vista Battery Saver Utility is a third-party application that claims to save up to 30 percent of your Vista battery life. Now this 30 percent figure is enormously inflated. In fact, the reality is that you will save more like 1-4 percent of your battery life with this application. But even scrubbing 1-4 percent more battery life can mean the difference between getting a critical file saved or not. This simple application does this by disabling Aero and the Vista Sidebar when your laptop is running on battery and re-enabling the items when the machine is plugged back into power. This application is freeware so you can download it and use it free of charge.
The installation is simple, download the installation binary from the main Web site and double click the download file. Depending on if you have User Access Control enabled you will have to allow the installation to continue.
During my installation something strange happened. Near the end of the install it seemed as if the installation stalled. I noticed an icon for Vista Battery Saver Utility was already running in the system tray so I figured I would close it and see what happened. That did the trick. The installation completed and I was able to fire up the application. Of course locating the application was not as easy as it should be, because once the installed the application will be buried in Accessories. Click the name to bring up the configuration window.
