New G732. Extremely poor battery performance

[mtz629]

Hello.

I have a new Strix 17 G732LWS. Everything seems great except I'm only getting about 2 hours of battery life at full charge, even on Silent profile.

Capacity is reported at 60,262 mWh. Discharge rate on Silent profile is about 30000 mW, which jives with my 2 hour runtime. What's bleeding battery? Task Manager / Resource Manager are showing nothing unusual. I idle at about 1% CPU

Thanks.

Found it. Link State Power Management was off and consuming 20K mW of power.
