Galaxy Book 2 Pro 360 Battery Life

[Jerry23]

 For those who owns a Galaxy Book 2 Pro 360 Laptop, what is the battery life like on your laptops?

I am only using it for internet browsing, and it only lasts for 3 hours max. Is this what I should be expecting?

The Lenovo Yogi 9i is an excellent option. It was my second choice to the Galaxy Book2 Pro 360 based on reviews.

@Ehanderson  ...sorry but I don't understand something, do you use the screen brightness at 10%?! it is very low.
one other thing, what setting do you usually set the system on? (silent, quite, balance, high performance)

[Ehanderson]

@pablomares, no, 10% down, which meams at 90% brightness. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

My system is o  High Performance 

[pablomares]

@Ehanderson oh nice, with 90% screen and high performance, you can get 3-5 hours of use, it's great. All this thanks to battery recalibration alone? or did you make any other changes?

[Ehanderson]

@pablomares Well, not JUST the recalibration. It was the recalibration AND lowering the brightness to 90% or so.  The recalibration takes hours. Just a heads up.

PREVIEW

[pablomares]

@Ehanderson Yes, I know, thanks for the warning. I'll do it when I have some free time. So I reload to 100%, launch the recalibration up to 0%, then recharge  to 100 and turn the PC back on, correct?

So did you leave all the default apps or uninstall some apps?... Sorry for all these questions, but I would like to improve the battery on mine.

1. Something else you may want to do also afterward is to uninstall Mcfee Virus, I use Norton now, found Mcfee taking alot of power from laptop. First check Mcfee scan schedule default, the default was actually set to scan every 15 min in background. It should be once a week.  Change this and see how it goes, up to you whether you keep the Mcfee Virus scanner.

[Ehanderson]

@pablomares that's all I did. Good luck. 

[pablomares]

@Brett  yes yes it was the first thing I did. Then I installed AVG which is better

@Ehanderson but you have a 13.3 inch, right?
