re: Getting laptop power management settings? Saturday, September 5, 2009 at 7:07 pm Windows Vista Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by JimmyK (168 messages posted) Balanced setting; gives you just enough power from battery pack and performance of PC for an equal share of both. Hence balance setting. Power Saver setting; sets computer to run the bare minimum apps and hardware to extend the battery life, example with out power saving mode your battery might last an hour and half, with it set to this mode you might get 3 hours. Hight performance; your PC will run everything and well which will drain the battery very quickly. On laptops I recommend the balanced setting but you can play around with all 3 keep the setting you like best for your needs.
