Battery life Precision 7680
Hello,
I got a brand new 7680, the battery is just awful... About 2,5h... What is the problem ?
Just patch with the last bios I've found. Hope it will be better.
Any clue on this ?
Thanks.

The system configuration comes into play, as will the settings and what you're running.
If the system has an RTX 2000 or 3500 GPU and that's in use, 2.5-3 hours is entirely reasonable.
If the system has only Intel graphics (or you disable the nVidia GPU) the runtimes should (or will) be far longer.
The higher-end nVidia GPUs draw 115W at full speed -- and even with reduced GPU speeds, an 83 or 93 WHr battery isn't going to run for hours. Couple it with a high resolution display and a fast CPU and you'll run up against the limits of a battery inside a system designed for portability.

Hi ejn63,
I dont play with it, just working... No gaming, no video.
Is there a way to disable the nVidia card ?
Just need autonomy.

Just switch to integrated graphics in nVidia control panel and reboot, but battery is at 84% and annouced an autonomy of 1h20...
Will see.
