About Battery Mode

Battery Mode is a Windows utility that replaces the default Windows battery indicator with an enhanced status tool. It provides backlight control for internal and external monitors, access to the full list of Windows power schemes, detailed battery information, and options to display battery percentage instead of the default tray icon. Advanced features include a customizable rule-based scheduler for power management, hotkeys to switch active power schemes, and a CLI or pipe-based API for external integrations. Building the software from source requires Embarcadero RAD Studio 13, and it is distributed under a custom non-open-source license.
