i bought my razer blade a week ago on 9/9/2020 and i have had trouble trying to maximize the battery life on the laptop. i am averaging 2 hours on battery saver at keyboard lights and logo lights off and the screen at 50 percent. How can i improve the battery life on my laptop

Not sure which laptop you have, but on my blade pro, enabling Nvidia Optimus more than doubled my battery life. Only allows 60hz refresh rate on the 4k display rather than 120, but I'm seeing around 5-6 hours life just general surfing/office apps.

Do you have any gpu monitoring app on? MSI afterburner or nzxt? Those apps can keep the dgpu active and not allow optimus to switch to the intel gpu for basic tasks thus shortening battery life

I'd check background running apps first, they like to drain battery.
And undervolt your CPU - it will be cooler and slightly more energy efficient.
