- I’m going to show you how you can improve your battery life on your Alienware Laptop.
Disclaimer: This will not guarantee you better battery life. It also depends on what specs you’re rocking on your Alienware Laptop
I had to record off an external monitor because whenever I record my desktop with the laptop screen, the recording just comes out blank. Probably has to do something with GeForce Experience & the integrated graphics.
Sorry for the boring video. I just wanted to get some information out there.
Also, here’s a link if you don’t feel like watching the video:

I’ve noticed increased traffic for this video over the past few months. When my new laptop comes in, I’ll try my best to make an updated video while being shorter.
Edit: The new laptop came in & I sent it back. Probably not gonna buy another one
Thanks for this dude!
7 hours compared to 3 hours its incredible. Thanks it worked perfectly
This is a very good video many of the stuf explained here exept the alienware exclusive stuf also work on other laptops. I have a acer nitro laptop and managed to increase my battery life from 4 hours to 8 hours battery life
Damn, I've already done ALL of this stuff, and I managed to increase my battery life from 1.5 hours to 2.5 hours... A god damn shame. I also don't have optimus supported on my 300Hz display and Dell won't downgrade it even if I pay them. Dell pretty much won't do anything to help you if you're past the 30 day return window, no matter what warranty you have. Kinda pissed with my smooth-brained purchase. After all my changes, my laptop literally runs like a 2003 windows XP piece of shit (cpu max usage is 7%), but still lasts only 2 hours LOL! Don't get me wrong, when it's plugged in, it's a god damn beast and is 3x better than any desktop I've had, but I just don't understand why it's so difficult for it to conserve power when just sitting on the desktop! Since I can't return it, I'm fucked and I just have to spend all my money on some high-end portable battery packs to charge on the go.
Damn man, that kinda sucks. Lmk how that battery pack plan works for ya
@@SiGuy_YT I think it should work out okay, but honestly if I wasn't about to start college, the amount of absolute performance delivered by this laptop is outstanding and I would be totally fine compromising battery life for it. Hopefully wall outlets are plentiful at my university HAHA
Or you could always bring a long ass extension cord too😂
I have a m15 r7 (3070ti + 240hz qhd) and the battery life is terrible (around 2h). Some options in the video are unavailable in the new model, such as undervolting the CPU and GPU, missing power plans (even creating new ones is very limited) and background apps tab was removed.
damn, I guess it depends on the specs too. I was able to do this on a X17 R2
They advised 9 hours it's shit realy might as well have got a desk top. I'm so unhappy with mine it was 3 grand here in Australia
using the same laptop, battery should be 3hrs at most if you utilise most power efficient settings for it.
Bro, my computer could be at 100% and if I unplug it, it will have 1.5 hours left before it dies, even if I am already on battery saver mode. Thanks for the vid!
Been having battery issues. When the battery is at 100%, after 6 hours the battery will be at 5% WITH the charger plugged in. Sucks. Getting a new battery, hopefully that will fix it. I had the original battery for about 1.5 years. Should've gotten a desktop.
That’s disappointing to hear. What model is this? I’m shocked to hear that you’re having a battery replacement in 1 1/2 years of ownership.
OMG, he's in Area 51; he's using Area 51 WIFI.
Anyways I like your videos, keep up the good work.
Hehehe, they’ll never find me👽
many thanks bro
Hello man, will this work properly in a bigass Alienware 18 P19E?
I’ve no idea to be honest with you.
I use M15 R6 - but the bios is locked down and I don't get the voltage settings unfortunately. Any tips on that plz?
Alienware most likely locked everything down. You might want to give throttle stop a try, but I’m unfamiliar with that application. I suggest checking out some videos on it first.
i'm using an alienware m15 r7, i've done all i could from your video, and the laptop's battery life doesn't seem to increase much, what should i do?
At this point, there’s really nothing you can do. Some laptops like my M15 R3 have improved the battery life. You have a high refresh screen or Nvidia Optimus? This video is about a years old, things are different now.
In my intel command center, I do not have all those options. How do I get them
Hmm, what model do you have?
How do I disconnect the battery charge when the charger cord is plugged in?
To conserve battery when playing
For alienware 15 r3
Do you mean like to keep the charger plugged in but don’t want it to charge me laptop?
@@SiGuy_YT Yes, because I am playing on my laptop and I can not remove the battery because it is inside the laptop .... Is there a way to not charge the battery when the charger cord is connected ?
Yes, you’ll have to go into your BIOS to prevent it from charging when plugged in.
@@SiGuy_YT Is there a RUclips explanation for this?
Greetings, I'm trying this for alienware m15 r7 rtx 3080 model. QHD, 240 hz.
1. disable gpu in alienware cc ( is it better to disable in disk management? )
2. lower refresh rate to 60hz
3. keep the brightness to min
4. keep the fans off
5. Advanced power options- max cpu processing on battery mode to 90%
I've made a normal profile with rtx gpu disabled, and my fans keep kicking it up, running almost always. ( I live in india where its pretty hot, most times ). Any tips on how i can regulate fans to save battery life? Getting less than 2 hours of battery life sadly and i want to learn more to optimize this.
My laptop is discharging at -67k .. so thats serious. i would greatly appreciate some more advice.
What kind of temps are you getting on battery? There might not be a solution for that due to your location.
Also, is your CPU made by Intel or AMD?
@@SiGuy_YT I have the intel i7 12700H CPU.
with a few tabs of chrome, torrent, alienware cc, msi open- the temps show 53 to 58. during gaming, it goes upto 78, 80s ( skyrim with mods, will learn using throttlestop ).
I have been able to see optimal battery usage thanks to these tips. now 60% of the battery says 190 min remaining with wifi off and all. not so great now, is it :(
also.. the custom charge settings in bios are messing up. i set up start 50 and stop 80. it worked fine for 1 day and suddenly the battery stops charging at 74% !! should i be worried ?
Since this is an Intel chip, there’s not much you can do now with all the tweaks. This video quite old & I’m pretty sure there’s better optimizations out there.
My only suggestion would be to get a USB C charger for on the go since the battery doesn’t last long. My M15 R3 supported type C charging, so I assume the newer ones can do that as well.
@@survivinglife262 na, that happens. It will only charge back up once it dips below the minimum. It will charge back up to the maximum.
I use alieware x17 r1 and its design capacity is 87k , 4 month later full capacity went down to 84997 and I don't understand why, I didn't play while not charging it (it can obviously be detrimental) but any other reasons?
Hmm, I’m not exactly sure what’s the reason behind that. Is your always at 100%? I heard that having your battery just constantly at 100% is not the best thing to do
@@SiGuy_YT yeah it might be one of the reason. So would you recommend to calibrate it first and then put the bottleneck to 80 % instead of 100% so basically it wont surpass it?
Yeah, that’s sounds like a good idea.
Hopefully the battery doesn’t degrade as much overtime. Also, with my previous Alienware laptops, the design capacity & the full capacity were different, even brand new. That’s probably just how they are.
@@SiGuy_YT the point is that my design capacity and full capacity were the same but it has worsen to 97 percent since 3.5-4 month of using
Hi friend! How are you? Work alienware r4 17? Thanks,
It should work on the R4 models. It works on the R3 models so I don’t see any issues working on the new ones.
Hey, there is NO "Advanced View" option in CPU overview in my Alienware Command centre. How can I undervolt or downclock my CPU?
From what I know, if there's no advanced option in Alienware Command Center, then you're unable to use Alienware Command Center to undervolt your CPU. It's most likely locked. You can try an app like ThrottleStop. They're plenty of youtube tutorials out there
@@SiGuy_YT Okay, thank you. I will give Throttlestop a try. Also, my laptop is pulling around 50 Watts of power even though I've done all steps as mentioned in the video apart from underclocking the CPU.
50watts? Damn, do you have a high refresh rate or a lot of apps running? Jeez, that's just a lot of power
@@SiGuy_YT Okay, So earlier I didn't underclocked the CPU and the refresh rate was 300Hz(i forgot to decrease it), but now I underclocked CPU using ThrottleStop and put down refresh rate to 60Hz. Still laptop is pulling 40 Watts of power. I'm so confused rn. I'm only getting around 1 hr 45 mins battery life even on power mode.
You know what, now that you mentioned it. That 300hz monitor doesn't have nivida optimus. It's using your Nvidia GPU to also run your system. That drains a lot of battery
Hey buddy, would this apply to the Alienware area51M R2 as well?
To be honest, with that model, I don’t think this will help all that much.
You got any tips i could apply that'll be helpful in squeezing out at least 3 hours on battery on the Alienware area51M R2?
Hmm, I suggest making sure the cpu stays cool so the fans won’t kick on. I have noticed that when the fans are running, you’ll get significantly less battery life.
Also, you might want to try down clocking the cpu while on battery or disable turbo boost while on battery.
What kind of battery life do you get on your default settings?
Edit: typo
I do get around 1 hour, 50 minutes... 2 hours tops
Okay, start with the cpu stuff that I mentioned to see if that helps. If you have intel command center installed on your machine, there’s a way to see how many watts your laptop is pulling while unplugged.
Edit: autocorrect sucks
Does this work on M15 r7?
Yes, it should would will all the newer model. I tried it on the X17 R2 & the M15 R6
thanks bro im gonna try your settings and see how it does, i got the alienware config from bestbuy without the optimus panel idk if i should return it and just order the 144hz optimus panel from dell
I'm guessing you got the 300hz panel from best buy. If you really want good battery life, getting the 144hz will definitely be a better option
@@SiGuy_YT i only get bout 2.5 hours on battery after this settings not bad for a gaming laptop with no Optimus, I’m thinking of getting the 4K panel instead I don’t really need the hight fps I don’t play competitive on a laptop anyways lol I have my desktop for that does any one have a 4K panel?
I know Alienware still offers the 4K options on their laptops, also Razer sell 4K laptops as well, but they’re kinda expensive.
If you decide to get another Alienware, you’re probably gonna have to order it from Dell since I doubt Best Buy carries the 4K versions.
