Battery Mode Alternatives

Battery Mode

Replaces Windows default battery indicator to a more powerful and useful one.
It provides backlight control, easy power scheme selection, detailed battery information and a lot of handy features for customization.

Advanced Power Scheme Selection
* Battery Mode allows you to change current power scheme right from the battery popup window.

* You can setup a schedule to change power scheme automatically.

Comfortable Backlight Control
* You can use Battery Mode to control backlight on both internal and external monitors. Note: External monitors should support I2C interface and DDC/CI standard to work.
* Check the «Fixed screen brightness» option to prevent backlight level from changing when attaching power supply or changing power scheme.
* Brightness icon near back-light slider allows you to enable or disable «Adaptive brightness» (if your device support it).

Hotkeys for Power Users
* Battery Mode provides a customizable hotkey to change a power scheme without opening it's window.
* You can use NextScheme.exe utility to switch power scheme or control backlight in you scripts.
