Battery Optimizer

[dglienna]

I found this program on my laptop, along with TvNow, and Wireless Connection Mgr, and wondered what it was. I ran it, and it says that it will take four hours to complete to cycle the battery. I ran it, and it immediately dropped down to 4 hours.

It is now at -Calibration Discharge 41%

It warns not to unplug the device until the program finishes, and says it is alright to continue using the machine, but says nothing of turning the machine off during execution.

I don't like to go out with the laptop on, but I guess that I'll have to just to let the program finish.

Any suggestions? How often would I run this? I guess it cycles the battery (which is something that I rarely let happen.)

Wish it luck!

now 99.9% with a flashing message "Do not unplug AC adapter"
and a msgbox warning to save all work, as batter has been almost fully discharged.

Noww it's doing a Courtesy Charge.

wonder why the OS didn't shut me down like it should have?

must be a real utility from HP

88.3% charged. 96% complete, and it hasn't melted down, yet
14 minutes to go

SUCCESS. I turned the option to run every week OFF, though.
