  • Battery information: Displays battery-health information, adjusts battery settings or creates a custom-battery setting.
  • Advanced charge mode: Controls battery charging to prolong battery life.
  • Peak Shift: Reduces power consumption by automatically switching the computer to battery power during certain times of the day, even when the computer is plugged into a direct power source.
  • Thermal Management: Controls processor and cooler fan settings.
  • Battery Extender: Conserves battery charge by adjusting the processor-power level, screen brightness and keyboard-illumination levels.
  • Alerts Management: Enables or disables the power adapter, battery, docking station, thermal, and other types of alerts.
  • Group Policies: Apply default settings or prevent users from changing power alert system events, power management, thermal management, battery extender, and battery settings.
  • Product Feedback: Provide feedback on the software.
