Battery; Razer Blade Stealth i7 (7th Gen)

Hey all!

Just got a new razer blade stealth and the battery only lasts about 3 hours w/ full screen brightness.
Is this normal? What do you have for battery life on this model?

 

What version do you have, the 13" QHD or the 12" UHD ? The one with UHD screen has a extreme bright display, if you run it on battery at max. brightness it will not last long. You also should uninstall all the bloatware and deactivate the Razer Game Scanner service.

 

13" QHD display, I deactivated the Razer Game Scanner service and uninstalled "Keeper", "Plex", and "Sketchbook". Is there any other bloatware I should be aware of?

Getting about 4 hours battery now, with full screen brightness. Is this normal?

 

With full brightness on those QHD+ screen I think it's normal, because it has to push the high resolution and bigger screen (13,3 1800) if you compare to old 12,5 QHD (1440p) screen. Did you test it in battery saver mode or normal mode, if you didn't try using it both setting from synapse and power setting on windows tab.

 

I tried this on normal mode, I'll try on battery saver as well and see how that works

I'd still be interested to see what other people have gotten for battery life on these machines, mostly trying to figure out if something might be wrong with this (requiring repair) or if this is normal.

 

I don't have stealth but 14 Kabylake if i maximized screen brightness on normal it just hold around 4 hours battery saver, brightness around 60, it could almost double it and easily reach 7 hours, sometimes could until 8 hours.
