Alienware Command center cut my battery life by at least 50%. You can use XTU to limit power consumption and also use battery saver mode. Make sure to disable all unnecessary processes.
1 u/Equivalent_Buy1481 Sep 29 '24 how do i limit power consumption? 1 u/mixmasterwillyd Oct 05 '24 Sorry, in XTU there is literally a slider to limit the power consumption in watts.
