Battery+ 1.17.4.0
Battery management tools are surely high on the list of such apps and among them you can come across the one suggestively called Battery+.
This utility is all about monitoring the power usage and consumption and making the necessary adjustments to increase battery life for Windows Phone handsets.
Smooth and clear appearance, with an innovative design
The interface has a high-quality finish to it and the graphics are really nice to look upon. Moving between the various sections of the app is effortless.
Accessing the extra modules of the utility is done either by swiping to the left or to the right, depending on the area you want to visit, or you can use the dedicated buttons that are also provided.
The information is presented in a very clean manner, with easy to read numbers inside Battery+ and also on the Start screen where you can pin the live tile that displays detailed information at a glance.
View the battery status and power usage
Inside the main screen you can view the remaining time until a recharge is required and the countdown is updated every minute. A more interesting feature is the "Power Usage" estimate that shows you how much time you can spend on certain activities until the battery is completely discharged.
Thus, you can see how long the battery lasts if the phone remains in standby or if you use it for music playback, taking photos, talk on 2G or 3G networks, play 2D or 3D games.
There is another set of details you can check out in the next screen and it is related to the number of charges, with a relevant graph and the precise time of the last time the phone was connected to the power outlet.
Battery saving options
With Battery+ you can easily deactivate some power consuming phone features from the "Save Battery Life" module, so you can extend the battery life with several hours. Inside the "Tools" section you can find some shortcuts that can be pinned to the Start screen in order to access some system features easier, but their availability depends a lot on the OS installed onto your handset.
There is even a neat set of advice regarding the good practices related to the utilization techniques that will save as much of the battery as possible and also help you make sure your handset lasts without problems for years on end.
Some advanced functions and settings are locked and cannot be used in the free version as they require a purchase to become available.
