The record

Purpose: BatteryCare is software designed to optimize modern laptop battery usage and performance by monitoring discharge cycles and helping improve battery autonomy and lifetime.
Battery monitoring: It tracks complete discharge cycles and can notify users when a configured cycle count indicates a full discharge is due.
Battery details: It displays battery wear level, capacities, consumption, manufacturer, and other information, and estimates remaining time when a laptop does not provide it.
Temperature monitoring: It monitors CPU and hard drive temperatures in Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Power management: It can switch power plans based on the computer’s power source and disable Windows Aero or selected demanding services while running on battery.
Tray display: A notification area popup shows temperatures, charge status, remaining time, and power plans.
Automatic updates: The program updates itself when a new version is available.
Resource use: The maker says BatteryCare requires 0.1% of processor and memory resources.
System requirements: The download page lists compatibility with Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10.
Portable version: The FAQ recommends downloading the portable version if installation through the installer is not possible.
Runtime dependency: The FAQ says Microsoft .NET 2.0 must be installed if the program fails to run after installation.
Permissions: The FAQ says administrator privileges are needed to read CPU temperature, and temperature readings may also depend on hardware compatibility.
Privacy: The privacy policy says BatteryCare does not collect or hold personal information that can identify visitors; it describes Google Analytics and possible advertising cookies on the website.
