KAR Power Faster (formerly Laptop Battery Optimizer) Description

KAR Power Faster is a very neat utility that aims to optimize the battery consumption on laptops, making your device last longer when it is not connected to a power outlet. It manages to do so by arranging for a compromise between battery life and computer performance, managing to provide users with cool CPU temperatures and long lasting power by sacrificing just a tad of the device’s RAM usage. KAR Power Faster comes in the form of a widget-like application, allowing you to tweak its behavior from a minimalistic interface. Here, the program displays information about the current conditions of your device, thus details such as CPU consumption and temperature, as well as RAM usage are shown from the getgo. Other functions become available inside a few small buttons that are located in the upper bar of the main window. One of them allows you to adjust the power and features an Auto-Eco option that gives the program permission to automatically modify the scenario when it is needed. Another module enables you to configure the light intensity of your device, which translates into an option that saves power by minimizing the brightness of the desktop. Once the screen turns to a darker shade, the power consumption is automatically optimized. Other configurations can be made from the Options window, where you can schedule the program to put your computer to sleep if idle for more than a preset period, although there’s also the possibility to create an exception for a certain time interval. The bottom line is that KAR Power Faster does offer a few useful options, is intuitive and easy to use, but comes with a pretty steep price for its array of features.
