I’ve installed TLP on my Lenovo ThinkBook laptop and was wondering if there are additional steps I can take to extend the battery life when using the laptop unplugged.

Could you please share more tips and tricks for maximizing battery life on Linux laptops?

      This is the way. You need to check whether CPU and package are mostly in the highest C-states they can be. If not, you’ve got a task or IO device causing a lot of wasted power.
