Hello,
I bought a few days ago a blade stealth 13" UHD 256Go, and since the battery last between 2 and 3 Hours on a full charge (screen ~80%, keyboard backlight and firefox running), altough it is suppose to last 6 to 8 hours.
Is it normal or should I return it ?
Thanks

Hello! Let me help you out with this. Have you tried running the power troubleshooter to see if Windows can detect issues with your power settings? Please make sure that Windows is up to date. Let me know.
First, thanks for replying.
So little update :
So my battery life was awful, but also my CPU was very hot (always between 68 ans 78° C) and above 3,4 GHz, I didn't link the 2 problems in the place.
After contacting the razer support, I've restored my computer (F9 at boot -> start recovery), and since, my CPU is at 0,8 GHz when browsing firefox, and is no longer overheating, and the battery life issue seems to have disappeared. As I'm writting this message, I'm at 52% for 3h40 battery life remaining, pretty good !!
I will update this thread in a few days to let you know if the problem is definitly fixed.
So if your battery life is poor and your CPU is overheating/always working @3.5+GHz, just restoring your system could be a solution !
