Axegrinder Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Is there any way to improve the battery life on this laptop (Dell N5110) using lion? I am getting around 2 hours on max battery. Same here. I am getting 2:30 expected/estimated remaining battery time on 10.7.3 at 100% charge without any CPU load (running Temp Monitor and Activity Monitor only) - both on Voodoo battery kext and native OSX kext (patched). In Windows 7 Ultimate I get 4-5 hours expected/estimated remaining battery time (again at 100% charge without any CPU load). While I realize this also depends on how the remaining time is measured in Windows 7 vs OS X Lion but I have a strong impression that the battery holds at least 1 hour longer in Windows 7 under regular load (internet browsing on forums - no video or animations etc.). I thought it was related to speedstep but the HW Monitor app shows the same multiplier (i.e. x8) in Lion as I get in Core Temp in Windows. I don't think the CPU fan could consume so much (it does work a bit harder in Lion compared to W7). In W7 it keeps the lowest rotation speed allowing the CPU to keep 53-54 C while in Lion it starts blowing more air once the temps on all 4 cores get over 50 C. I am note sure if the Nvidia GT 525M could be the reason - it functions in W7 (and Intel Graphics is probably disabled) however in Lion (again, I am guessing here) it consumes power without delivering anything and the video is provided by Intel Graphics. I would also appreciate some help on this!!! Thanks in advance!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
