Supported Devices for Tweets60 and Battery Extender
Battery Extender Testimonials
Battery Extender has been developed for Nokia smartphones (click here for full list of compatible devices). If you are using your smartphone a lot to update social networking websites or check your emails and have ended up with the phone battery almost empty just when you had to make that all important business phone call – then Battery Extender is what you need to improve your mobile experience. We are also currently developing a version of Battery Extender that runs on Windows Mobile and will continue to add new profiles and update the program for all available platforms.
Battery Extender will bring you energy savings. No, we are not claiming that you will save a lot of money using this product, but doing our bit for the environment is a starting point in the grander scheme of things and every little helps. Apart from that the program offers convenience! It will enable you to go on a business trip for a couple of days without the worry of running out of battery. The program manages features dynamically – as your battery life decreases it switches more and more features off, something that would be quite time consuming to do manually. Updates for the program can be downloaded free of charge and a technical support team will help you with any problems you may encounter.
The program will basically benefit anyone, who would like to get more usage of their mobile phone battery. But don’t just take our word for it. See what previous customers had to say!
I installed Battery Extender because I travel a lot all across Europe and I do not always take a travel adapter and don’t want to buy an extra charger every time I am abroad. With Battery Extender my phones lasts for 3 or 4 days and I can still check my emails and keep my business partners updated. A really useful programme if you rely on your battery.
I just bought my first smartphone and I am still trying to get used to all the features. It is amazing what you can do with those phones, but compared to my old phone where the battery used to last for about a week or so without charge, the battery of my new phone was shocking. I am still getting used to the phone and the features, but Battery Extender was easy to install and really does make a difference.
I must admit, I am bowled over with the simplicity yet with the sheer utility of Battery Extender! It is simply marvelous….
The app has certainly become one of my favorites already and is a must-have in my recommendation list.
The first time I tested it on max battery power, I was wondering if my battery would ever die.
It really does extend the battery life.
Battery Extender
Battery Extender does what it says on the tin (figuratively speaking that is)! Today’s feature rich phones offer endless opportunities for the user, from inbuilt GPS systems to social networking sites, modern technology has made these services available on your mobile phones. The price: comparatively poor battery life! While the manufacturers of those devices are still figuring out the best way to counteract this problem while adding ever more features, Ravensoft in Manchester has developed a simple solution to help you extend the battery life of your smartphone.
How much energy you save depends on the profile you are using and obviously you phone usage in general. With the Nokia S60 smartphone series, you can achieve up to 30% longer battery life. In most cases that will mean that you phone will last for 4 instead of the average three days. Over a whole year that will mean that you have to charge you phone 31 times less, then without the program – saving you hassle and some energy for the planet. Could Battery Extender be for you? Why not check what previous customers had to say!
You can download a 14-day-trial version of Battery Extender here or buy Battery Extender directly of Nokia’s Ovi Store. For detailed instructions for the downloading process, please click here.

Tip: If you are using your Nokia S60 smartphone to update your Twitter account you might also be interested in Tweets60, the first free native twitter application for Nokia S60 smartphones. The application is faster and more efficient than the mobile site and enables you to access all basic twitter functions. You can manage who you follow, tweet, re-tweet and open links – and that all for nothing! Why not have a look at Tweets60 here.
How does Battery Extender Work?
Once you have downloaded Battery Extender and installed it on your phone you can select the profile that best suits your situation and the program will then manage the features that drain your battery by fine tuning the settings on your device. As your battery drains, less critical, power draining features can be disabled to extend the life. To learn more about the different profiles, please click here.
Currently Battery Extender will manage the following features:
• GPS
• Bluetooth
• Autorotate
• Backlight timeout
• Backlight brightness
• Screensaver timeout
• Applications (which can be individually selected)
That does not mean that you won’t be able to still use any of the managed features. You can manually access all features on your phone, without having to change anything in the Battery Extender settings. The program only manages programs that run in the background and you can select the profile that best suits you situation and adapt any of the recommended profiles.
If you have any other questions, please check the FAQ section or email us.

Battery Extender Profiles
A profile is a list of features you wish to change. The application comes configured with some recommended profiles but you can customise them to your needs. From the profile list you can select the profile to activate.
Going away for a long weekend or on a business trip?
Enable Battery Extender’s Max Battery profile. This turns on all the power saving features to their highest level to give you the maximum battery performance.
Going walking/running and want to be geo tagging your photos or mapping your route? Enable Battery Extender’s Outdoor Sports profile. This will enable the maximum battery performance, saving energy on unneeded features, while still running the power hungry GPS receiver. The energy savings on unneeded features will keep you battery from being completely drained in a short period of time, due to the high energy consumption of the GPS.
Just want your phone to last longer? Use the Improved Battery profile, which only starts to change settings when the battery runs low.
Want to be using Google Latitude but not at the expense of a flat battery? Add Google Maps to the list of applications to close down when you battery level drops below 3 bars. When customizing any of the profiles you will be able to specify which applications are managed and how early on they are switched of through the Application Selector. Don’t leave those applications running in the background. Select which ones to close and when.
Should I exit the application once I have selected a profile?
Battery Extender is split into two parts. The first is the configuration application that you use to select and customise a profile. The second is a minimal application that performs the battery optimisation. When you exit Battery Extender the configuration application is closed but the clever part continues to run in the background. So after you have selected or customised a profile you can exit Battery Extender and be safe in the knowledge your battery optimisations will be happening in the background.
If you have any other questions, please check the FAQ section or email us.

Battery Extender – FAQ
Does it really work? Will the program itself not consume battery power?
Yes it works and no the program does not drain your battery. Battery Extender is designed to react to changes rather than constantly monitor the device. This means that it has an incredibly low power consumption allowing all the power savings to go straight into an extended battery life. Once you have installed battery extender it will allow you to compare the different profiles and predict battery life for your smartphone based on the current settings and the battery bars left, so you can see how much longer you battery will last. For details of the profiles please click here.
Why should I pay for the program?
Battery Extender will bring you energy savings. No, we are not claiming that you will save a lot of money using this product, but doing our bit for the environment is a starting point in the grander scheme of things and every little helps. Apart from that the program offers convenience! It will enable you to go on a business trip for a couple of days without the worry of running out of battery. The program manages features dynamically – as your battery life decreases it switches more and more features off, something that would be quite time consuming to do manually. Updates for the program can be downloaded free of charge and a technical support team will help you with any problems you may encounter.
Where can I get the program? You can download a 14-day-trial version of Battery Extender here or buy Battery Extender directly of Nokia’s Ovi Store. For detailed instructions for the downloading process, please click here.
Is there a corporate version?
Yes, there is – Green Snapper Mobile has been developed to allow large and medium sized businesses to save cost and improve the mobile experience of their staff by installing Green Snapper Mobile on the company phones. Green Snapper Mobile is available on its own at a reduced corporate rate or in combination with Green Snapper – our computer network energy saving tool. Green Snapper allows corporations with large or small computer networks to manage energy consumption, similar to the feature of battery extender. The program achieves energy savings of up to 50%. For more information on Green Snapper please click here. If you would like to get in touch with us about the pricing for Green Snapper Mobile or the combination prices please contact Chris.
Why do you not turn off Bluetooth after 5 minutes?
Due to the special way Battery Extender is implemented we react to changes in the battery level rather than monitor for inactivity of a specific feature. If we monitored the Bluetooth connection for inactivity we would be consuming more power and would likely undo all of the power saving benefit.
Should I exit the application once I have selected a profile?
Battery Extender is split into two parts. The first is the configuration application that you use to select and customise a profile. The second is a minimal application that performs the battery optimisation. When you exit Battery Extender the configuration application is closed but the clever part continues to run in the background. So after you have selected or customised a profile you can exit Battery Extender and be safe in the knowledge your battery optimisations will be happening in the background.
