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?

    I don’t think that you’re losing any power with the “usb ports powered” option on. It’s just there if you want to use your (sleeping) laptop as a $1000 power bank to charge your phone.

    Personally, I turn it off just because I would rather use a $20 battery pack instead of wearing out my laptop.
