I recently upgraded from Mac OS X 10.4 to 10.6, and noticed that the power saving profiles have disappeared from the menu bar's Battery Status menus. Luckily, this functionality is still accessible via the command line.
Open Terminal and type the following command in order to set the profile to be used when using the battery:
pmset -b modenumReplace modenum with one of the following values:
- 1 - Better Energy Savings
- 2 - Normal
- 3 - Better Performance
- -1 - Custom
