I used to have Windows 10 on my Lenovo Yoga 730-15" and recently I replaced it with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

I see huge fall in discharge time to around one hour. I tried installing powertop and enabling tlp but no luck. Is this some incompatibility with my laptop and Ubuntu? Or, is there any other way I could solve this?

Is your graphic card, Nvidia? If yes, it can help:

Go to Settings > Details , and see what 'Graphics' is your computer using. If it is Geforce, then open terminal and write

nvidia-settings

On opened window click 'PRIME Profiles' and select 'Intel (Power Saving Mode)'.

Restart your laptop.

You can try

  1. Laptop-mode-tools

  2. Linux-thermal-daemon

  3. TLP

Note: Different OS, different drivers, so we cant really do much here. I was using Windows10 which used to give 5-6 hours of battery life and now I am using Ubuntu 20.04 as primary OS which gives 2-3 hours of battery life max. Still try above things and see how much this helps.
