Kevin C. Tofel introduces us to a software the runs down your battery just for the fun of it. Basically its for testing your mobile device or laptops batteries performance and here’s a good pick up line when you sit in Starbucks. You say…”I’ll show you mine if you show me yours” – your battery of course. Let the battery marathon begin !

Power consumption continues to be a major discussion point for mobile devices, and I came across Battery Eater '05 this morning. This free application will test your mobile computing device's battery by running it down completely while monitoring and later reporting the results. According to the product page: "During the test it heavily loads CPU, RAM, HDD and videocard. Additionally, the program shows system information, which includes AC status, battery name, type and manufacturer, CPU, RAM and display info, etc."
