hollunder@discuss.tchncs.detoLinux@lemmy.ml•Low battery life due to high power consumption on t490 thinkpad. (help needed)
1·
10 months agoWhile I think that 5h of battery life with yt videos running is ok for a t490 you could still try to recalibrate the battery with tlp.
I have a t470s (has two internal batteries) where suddenly the performance of one of the batteries somehow got really bad. After calibration it works as good as before (upower says it’s at about 80%). I did the calibration in windows tho with Lenovo vantage as I’m still running a dual boot setup and didn’t know about tlp before.
Bittä und Dankä!
