what does this do ?

Set battery poll interval to 50000(via a reg editor- HKLM>drivers>builtin>battery)

Think of it like the CPU "pinging" the battery. It's the interval at which the CPU checks the battery's charge level. Ironically, it eats battery just to check the battery, so less battery polling means less juice consumption. This one makes a big difference for me.
