How to make the battery of an Acer Nitro V15 last much longer
Hi, I bought a Nitro V15 laptop with a Ryzen 7 7735HS and an RTX 3050. I'll be using it mainly for my studies, but I also wanted to use it for gaming. I could have chosen a different laptop, but I found this one at a great price at Walmart.
My question is, how do I optimize this laptop to maximize battery life? I've tried several things, and it uses about 1% of the battery every minute. I've tried putting it in efficiency mode in Nitro Sense and setting the processor to 30% battery usage in the Windows power plan. I've also disabled the graphics card when it's not needed, and I've even calibrated the battery, but nothing has worked. The estimated battery life is always at 1 hour, sometimes going up to 5 hours, but then it drops again. Could someone please help me?
