Overview: Battery life is a valuable metric for improving Linux laptop power management. Battery life measurements require repeatable workloads. While BAPCo MobileMark 2005 is widely used in the industry, it runs only on Windows R XP. Intel's Open Source Technology Center has developed a battery life measurement tool-kit for making reliable battery life measurements on Linux with no special lab equipment necessary. This paper describes this Linux battery life measurement tool-kit, and some of the techniques for measuring Linux laptop power consumption and battery life. This paper also includes example measurement results showing how selected system configurations differ.
