If you have a laptop, you probably don't need anyone to tell you that one of its main problems is the battery, firstly because its autonomy tends to decrease over time. Then, because even the Windows indicators can fail, it's impossible to know how long it will stay on. Luckily, Smarter Battery is one of the many applications developed to give us a hand in this regard.

Smarter Battery then becomes a paid assistant but with a trial version, which aims to improve the original performance of our laptop, first by offering a vast amount of factual information about how the battery is working, and secondly, by adding a massive amount of tips and tricks that will allow you, beyond its status, to take better advantage of it and not run out of autonomy in the middle of the day.

How it works

Some of the information about your laptop's battery that you will be able to know thanks to Smarter Battery has to do with the maximum capacity it has ever had, as well as its current ability. It would be best if you also kept in mind that you will be able to access information related to the manufacturer of the equipment and the battery itself, the estimated remaining battery life, etc.

One of the things we liked most about Smarter Battery is its design. Although we will focus on this later, it is easy to move around, thus obtaining a much better user experience than other similar applications. Here we have the primary functions organized in tabs, and one of the main ones is the one that allows you to activate an emergency mechanism for desperate situations.

Of course, Smarter Battery can take actions in advance, some of which are enabled by default. We are talking about the fact that when the battery reaches its last 30% of autonomy, for example, some of the most consuming processes will be deactivated, such as the high brightness of the screen or typical Windows procedures that run in the background without us noticing them.

Smarter Battery also has a series of graphs. Thanks to this, it is much easier to read the essential information about your battery's useful life, such as those related to its charge or discharge cycles. This is essential for observing how it is aging, thus avoiding being caught by surprise by having to buy a new battery, something that is not always easy or economical.

At the same time, with Smarter Battery, you can set different alarms, which in the original format of the program are activated when we have a low battery capacity in the first instance and a remaining autonomy in a critical situation secondly.

As we already mentioned, the user interface of Smarter Battery is undoubtedly one of the main strengths of this platform, and it is as beautiful as it is functional, something that rarely happens to be honest. The organization of its main features is perfect, thanks to the method of modern tabs. Although it is only available in English, these details make navigation completely intuitive.

Keep in mind

As we said at the beginning, Smarter Battery is not a free application but a paid one that will allow us to use it without limits in terms of most of the functions, but with a restriction on the amount of use, which is set at a maximum of 10. besides that, if you finally purchase it and register, you can access additional functions, such as downloading the battery or calibrating it.

The best

Smarter Battery has many positive aspects, starting with the most important one: the enormous amount of information it provides about our laptop's battery and its current performance. If we add its charge and discharge cycles analysis to predict when it will be necessary to change the battery, we can see that it solves almost all our needs in these cases.

The worst

Here there will no longer be any doubt about what is the worst thing about Smarter Battery, and it is that, unfortunately, it is a paid service, which we can use for free to make just ten checks of the status of our battery. For example, we would have loved a free version with restricted functions but without usage limits.

Rating

Smarter Battery is an exciting tool. It is probably one of the best laptop battery management applications we have analyzed. Still, the point of having to pay for such a service when there are so many others completely free is likely to scare off more than one user. We recommend trying it only if you are willing to pay for such a program.
