Intellij Idea (win32/64): run .bat, not .exe
Running exe (which is exe4j executable) leads to multiple constant disk operations by exe4j (not even idea itself). I checked that with process monitor filtering idea.exe events. If you run .bat (java.exe hosted idea) that doesn't lead to strange events disk io overload.
So to prolong battery (and hdd!) life consider running idea.bat file, not idea.exe.
