The maximum life of the battery of a laptop Thinkpad T15 in Windows 11, Microsoft 365 and hybrid environment

Hi,


This is Windows 11, Microsoft 365 and hybrid environment.

This is related to a laptop ThinkPad T15 Gen 1. The client who used this laptop complained the battery lasted only 2 hours, then dead (Even he has got the battery 100% charged).

Question:

            1) Is the battery life of this laptop maximum 2 hours? (From where do you get the information?)

            2) Is their any system adjustment that can make the life of the battery longer?


Thanks,

Tjie

BATTERY
Battery capacity (Watt-hours)57 Wh
Battery life (max)15.26 h

if using the NVIDIA GeForce MX330 instead of the integrated intel graphics battery life will be greatly reduced.  only use GeForce for gaming and accept the reduced battery life or when plugged in.

How old is the Gen1?  2 years?  3 years?  How heavily was the battery used?  It may have reached its recharge cycle life and needs replacement to get to the old maximum battery.


If your client has been heavily using the laptop, the battery life can be as little as half of stated maximum.  No laptop I've ever used last more than around half the stated maximum battery life.  I need a 16 hour battery to last an 8 hour day, since I'm on it continuously connected to multiple remote sessions and have multiple browsers and applications open.
