Summary

Users typically won’t notice if your application preserves battery life. However, they most likely will notice if it does not. All applications need to behave and cooperate as much as possible in order to maximize the battery life, as a single application can ruin all the efforts made by others. As users often uninstall applications that consume too much power, your application needs to make a sensible use of the battery and yet should give the users options to configure certain things as different users will ask for different things. Empower your users.
