PwrDrain Torrent X64 This Sidebar gadget isn't quite "yet another power meter" for your laptop battery: while most power meters show the remaining battery charge (similar to the task bar icon that's included in Windows), this one shows the current power drain in real time. This means that if you start doing something that's power intensive, like turning on WiFi, turning up the display brightness, or plugging in lots of USB devices, you'll be alerted immediately about the increased consumption. Give PwrDrain a try to fully assess its capabilities! What would be really useful would be the ability to set thresholds on how much power is used (or is predicted to be used) and have those thresholds be in effect after a defined amount of time. This is by far the best power meter, but it's not very easy to use. For a start you have to know your settings for the power block widget. You can't change settings for individual widgets. However, once you've found what settings are best for you, the widget allows you to switch on and off each of the power blocks, and you can set how frequently you want the system to be polled. You also have the option to disable this entirely (so the widget shows your battery level and current power draw, but no option to alter settings). The battery widget is not connected to the power block, but just to the battery itself. That means that you can't set individual thresholds for different power blocks and you can't have more than one battery widget. However, the battery widget does have an option to enable and disable the power blocks, so you can decide how many blocks you wish to display. All the options to alter battery power are available via the Taskbar menu. You can choose how frequently to poll the battery, set individual thresholds, and also decide how much battery is needed before a system power block starts being activated. Unfortunately, if you've set up a power block, you won't get a notification to tell you if there's a new threshold to be set. So be sure to check the battery status frequently when you have the display on, and turn off WiFi and any other power-hungry devices. @battery, thanks for the feedback! You're right, the option to set individual thresholds for power blocks and to have more than one widget is something that would be extremely useful. The battery widget is not connected to the power block, but just to the battery itself. Yes, but, PwrDrain For Windows 1a423ce670 PwrDrain [Win/Mac] The primary goal of this project was to create a low-cost utility that constantly monitors your system and that lets you know if you're about to run out of juice. -- Read more on the project page: Why This Power Meter? PwrDrain is my first power meter, and it wasn't easy. PwrDrain will work with all laptops with an internal graphics card (as well as external graphics cards). It will work with laptops running Windows and Mac OS X, as well as with Linux systems. It has a simple user interface. There's no external dependencies (apart from a good processor and memory). There are zero configuration settings. There are no external hardware dependencies. PwrDrain is completely self-contained. PwrDrain is a single, stand-alone executable. You don't need to install or use any additional software. Installation is simple and fast. (We even have a list of recommended tools for Windows users, for download in case you're unable to install directly.) Installation Procedure: Download and extract the executable to any folder on your hard drive. Double-click on the executable to run the program. PwrDrain will be installed to the "Program Files" folder (or subfolder) for your operating system. Note: If you're using a Mac, you may need to log out of the current session first to be able to install the application. When you run the program for the first time, you'll see the following window: The two columns in this window show information about your system. Power Consumption (left) shows the current power draw from your battery. PwrDrain Version (right) shows the current version of the program. Each time you run the program, a record of your current power consumption will be written to a file named "powerdrain.log". Note: Some of the numbers in the window above may not match the numbers in the log file. That's because the log file is written in a different format that takes account of your battery voltage and temperature. If you want to see a list of the current log files, just right-click on the powerdrain.log file and select "Open log in list". The calibration procedure requires you to use a long battery (minimum 100 mAh) at a minimum power consumption ( What's New in the PwrDrain? System Requirements For PwrDrain: Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 1024MB RAM (1GB recommended) 1GB free hard-disk space 32-bit or 64-bit version of Internet Explorer 11.
