Balanced

heady perch
#

No

#

Hybrid mode

#

Balanced is your thermal mode

#

That’s a separate thing, you should run quiet mode on battery

#

Run hybrid iGPU mode. That should ensure your dGPU is off

#

For more tips you can read the battery life post in #1020285176531669012

#

You trying these tips? @runic heron

open bough
#

also make sure u have the ai engine enabled if ur using LLT

#

im not sure if the correllation is correct but after i installed some more drivers for the laptops hardware that i was apparently missing the system interrupts process cpu time was decreased massively if u hav the same issue

runic heron
#

Will give those tips a go and report back. Appreciate it

#

one more thing theres a glitch on mine that makes it think that there is a monitor connected to my dgpu that i hav to manually "disconnect" in settings every time i restart, and it causes it to never disable dgpu so u should check that if it wont shut off

#

If you connect smth via hdmi it will always go to dgpu

#

#

#

but yeah u should b getting at least 4 hours, i have basically the same hardware and iv been using discord n shit im on 92% and it says iv got 5hrs 2min remaining

runic heron

runic heron
#

runic heron
#

alright great. appreciate it man. im not on battery much and usualyl stay plugged in, but just wanted to make sure my battery wasn't cooked or anything. only had this for a few weeks

open bough
#

ye i had the same thing for awhile, its weird how its not like that by default

#

shit was using 50w at idle

runic heron
#

jesus lol

#

I appreciate the help man

#

@open bough how do i stop my battery from charging past a certain % when plugged in?

open bough
#

conservation mode

#

u cant set the exact % but it seems like 80% is the default

alpine kernel
runic heron
# alpine kernel conservation mode

i changed that setting on vantage but no longer have vantage, but my battery still only charges to 80% max. On LLT my battery mode is set to normal

#

but still honouring the vantage 80% max

alpine kernel

#

should i reinstall vantage, turn that setting off, uninstall, and then turn conservation on LLT?

alpine kernel

#

No need to do that then

#

must be a bug

runic heron
#

runic heron
alpine kernel

The dGPU is probably on if you’re on regular hybrid.

Show dGPU screenshot from LLT.
