DELL g15 5530 i5 13450hx rtx 3050

Hi, I need help with my Dell G15 5530 (i5-13450HX/RTX 3050). I'm experiencing unusually fast battery drain during light tasks. I’ve checked the battery health in the BIOS and it says 'Excellent,' but the actual runtime is very low. Can you help me troubleshoot this or check if there is a background process causing high power consumption?"

"Has anyone else experienced high idle battery drain on the Dell G15 5530 (i5-13450HX / RTX 3050)? Even on 'Battery Saver' mode with the screen at 50% brightness, I'm losing percentage points rapidly. I suspect the dGPU (RTX 3050) might not be sleeping properly. Any advice on power plan settings or specific drivers that might fix this?"

witch to integrated GPU only in NVIDIA Control Panel, disable GPU boost, close background apps, and update Intel + NVIDIA drivers.
