He indicated that it should extend the overall life-time as you suggest, but also extend the time a single charge lasts. Presumably it reduces the power consumption of the CPU so a battery with a given capacity lasts longer. Hi bikoz,

I hadn’t thought of the battery life-time angle, so I emailed Magnus Lundholm, Coolbook’s author to check what he thought Coolbook could achieve .

He indicated that it should extend the overall life-time as you suggest, but also extend the time a single charge lasts. Presumably it reduces the power consumption of the CPU so a battery with a given capacity lasts longer.

Heat damages batteries, so the cooler it is the better. My two cents... Hi

My two cents…

Sadly I didn't observe any improvement in battery life. What's your setup, and have you seen better battery performance using CoolBook? Simon Hi Jaap,

For the battery test I locked the frequency/voltage to 1002MHz/0.9500V. Sadly I didn’t observe any improvement in battery life. What’s your setup, and have you seen better battery performance using CoolBook?

That will use more power at idle than you want. Did you set your idle Frequency to 1.5HGz? That will use more power at idle than you want.
