Battery Life degraded immensely after rollback

[ZAPD0S2009]

Hello,
I have an Omen 16 laptop i7-13700HX, 4060 and the battery capacity is 83,000 mWh, when I was in windows 11 i remember doing the following for whenever I go to school, etc:

-Disabling dGPU
-Lowering refresh rate to 60
-throttle-stop battery settings, no boosting (CPU doesnt go above 8~9 watts in this mode)
-No RGB, backlight keyboard
-Bluetooth off, no attached peripherals (mouse, keyboard)

All of this usually I get a discharge rate of about 9000-11000 mWh on average when doing web browsing, spreadsheet filling, media consumption, which leads to 83000/10000 = 8.3 hours battery which I achieved in windows 11. I rolled back to windows 10, and whenever I apply these settings for some reason my battery only lasts 1 hours with 40,000 to 60,000 discharge...

Am i missing something here?
Also my battery capacity is about 75000 now. (8 month old laptop), still expecting 6+ hours...

Request rma

What does this have to do with RMA, Im confused?
+ I already RMA'd for motherboard failure (search up hall sensor design flaw omen 16) and this is my replacement one.

Your battery

Does the battery work fine without those settings?

Assuming the battery monitor is actually reporting correctly, see if anything is draining power. Try HWiNFO for that. If it's draining for no apparent reason, then it's probably a RMA case, again.

These gaming laptops chews up battery very quickly regardless.. when I first got mine the battery last around 2+hrs with browsing and 1 game of hearthstone… now lappy is over 3 years old and battery is barely lasting 1hr… so don’t be surprised if it drains quick but if it’s draining abnormally fast then the battery is most gone faulty and well within your rights to replace it under warranty

For those things, if you use your laptop primarily plugged in and your laptop offers a partial-charge mode, use it. Mine is still at 96% after 4 years - albeit that's a technicality since it won't charge beyond about 65-70% with it on.

That's after I kept it plugged in at 100%, and it swelled close to the point of almost popping the cover off and causing weird random crashes.

Before the windows rollback everything was fine, do you think one of the battery cells stopped working or something? Sorry, I'm just a high school PC enthusiast and the laptop is affecting my studies as it only lasts very less time in class. Im just confused because before the rollback I got 8+ hours ..

Yeah, they are basically desktop replacements.

Then please explain how i was able to get 8+ hours before? Anyone can get good battery life if you are willing to turn your gaming laptop into a web browsing machine...

If the discharge rate is way higher then there must be something running in the background now that was not running in the background before. Check the Task Manager Details tab. What does ThrottleStop report for C0% when your computer is idle at the desktop?

Here is what a lean computer looks like when idle. A lot of cores and threads doing next to nothing.

Also check the ThrottleStop C states data. You should see cores spending 99% of their time in C7. If the C states are disabled, power consumption will go way up and battery run time will go way down.

getting 28 watts discharge instead of sub 10 watts.

Windows 10 does not support 13th Gen processors. It might look like it is working OK but there could be a driver or something else that is not 13th Gen compatible.

I am not sure how to solve this other than going back to Windows 11.

 

[ZAPD0S2009]

Isnt the 13700HX an i9-12900HX?

 

[unclewebb]

Windows 10 does not support Intel processors that have both P and E cores. That is any 12th Gen and newer Intel CPU.
