Description

Laptop power usage can be estimated from battery discharge readings while workloads run. This is useful for comparing configurations, finding power-hungry behavior, and checking whether tuning changes improve battery life.

It is a command-line measurement tool. Results depend on battery condition, workload stability, charging state, and sensor accuracy, so compare runs under controlled conditions.
