Extend battery life using community made power plan #

This is a guide intended to boost your machines battery life (especially for brand new laptops)

Steps #

  1. Make sure your Hybrid mode is enabled (Vantage/Legion Toolkit), in case you have L5 or a laptop equipped with advanced optimus (AO), use Hwinfo and determine if the dedicated GPU is using power as there’s a known bug with AO not fully “killing” the DGPU after going back into Optimus mode. To “kill” the DGPU use this guide (Turn off Nvidia GPU in hybrid mode) [Credits to @LABØ!]
  2.  Battery calibration (Applies especially to newly bought laptops)
    Calibrate the battery by discharging to 15-20% then charging back to 100%, repeat this process for 2-3 times
  3. Use Refresh Rate and Power Profile Auto-Switch V2 to switch to 60Hz automatically when the device is unplugged. [Credits to @mind12 , @sunkar]
    Use Kira’s Quiet Power Plan⬇️ (AMD)
    Use Undervolt’s Battery saver plan ⬇️ (Intel)
  4. In order to import the power plan, follow these steps
  • Open an elevated command prompt
  • Type the following command to list all the available power plans:
    powercfg.exe /L
  • Now all the power plans installed in the laptop will be displayed along with their GUID, currently equipped power plan will be denoted by an asterisk (*)
  • Execute the following command: 
    powercfg export “%UserProfile%\Desktop\PowerPlan.pow” GUID
    Replace the GUID portion with the actual GUID value along with the location of the power plan file with its extension (*.pow)
    Example: powercfg.exe import “C:\Users\kira\Downloads\Undervolt-Intel- Battery-Saver.pow”
  • To confirm the power plan installation, navigate to windows search -> edit power plan -> Undervolt Intel Battery Saver -> Enable

Now the power plan has been successfully installed
