Why not ? it has no impact on increased battery life at all !!!
It just assure that your system is not undervolted for less than 1 minute after wake from sleep
I think maybe this is a language barrier but that's not actually what it does. It's not just doing a quick check every minute to make sure the voltage is set to your preference.
Direct from their readme....
This program does not provide a GUI interface because it loads the MSR driver only when apply, amend or read is done, after that the MSR driver will load and unload immediately for more security and lowest resource usage
So essentially your laptop loads the daemon every minute and then loads the msr driver to read and check, then unloads both after it's done. Every minute it'll repeat this process. While it may not take much cpu effort to do that every minute, that is just really inefficient in my opinion. You would get even more battery if you set it to 10 minutes.
It´s showing if you use fake.smc and Rehabman´s battery kext so I think it´s a virtualsmc battery plugin issue
We used fake.smc before but for some reason with the pm961 and mojave moving forward, we would get nvme kernel panics constantly which was really unstable and possibly cause data corruption. Losing exact battery details I think is a fair trade off. Only way I could get my hack running really stable was virtualSMC. I have contemplated on going back to check but it seems virtualSMC and its plugins are the way moving forward.
