Hey everyone, quick question, I've got a razer blade advanced which I love, but the battery, even on battery save will only last 2 hours max, even just web browsing and using word. I realise this is a gaming laptop so not to expect anything spectacular but a lot of the benchmarks say you'd get around 6 hours. Does anyone know if this is normal?
All the settings as far as I can see are set to improving battery life, like Optimus being enabled, brightness at 50% etc.

Hi there, as @Sye_The-Vie said since battery is wearing with the time battery life might be vary depends how long you have the unit and how you’re using it, if often on battery it might wear faster. To check this you can use 3rd app battery measuring apps like battery bar or HWinfo64, check the battery health and consumption.
On new condition your 80 Wh battery capacity theoretically can go over 6 hours if it consumes under 15 watt, if your is relatively new and only 2 hours it might be over 30 watt consumption. To avoid that you can check 3rd party apps, apps that working background or changing nvidia driver while checking the consumption, unfortunately windows Laptops with optimus technology are often facing short battery life due those things and also optimus bug.
You can also try this support troubleshooting method to get best battery life on your device.

That's awesome, thanks for that. It's a 2020 laptop so only had it just under a year. That troubleshooting battery trick instantly increased the battery life from 2 hours to 4. Great result, thank you!
