I'm installing BOINC in a friend's laptop, but i'm not sure if i should enable "Do work while on battery" mode, because i don't know if it will drain the battery faster. |

If your are running BOINC full throttle it will use more power than doing nothing. The best thing is always trying. If it doesn't work out try throttling down BOINC. |

It will definitely drain the battery faster. I'm speaking of a factor of 3 to 6 (depends on other load and on type of battery). Gruß, Gundolf Computer sind nicht alles im Leben. (Kleiner Scherz) |
