Battery life improvements on Arch

Hi,

I recently installed Arch on my main machine. Previous to Arch I have used Windows and Ubuntu on the same machine (not dualboot, different times). While using windows I was getting 5.5 hours of battery life. When I switched to Ubuntu I was able to get 3 hours without tlp and tlp tweaks made it 3.5 hours. But right now even with the tlp, I cannot get 3 hours of battery on Arch linux. What should I do to have longer battery life? I have amd ryzen 7 4800H and nvidia rtx 2060. The machine runs on AMD by default.

Re: Battery life improvements on Arch

Figure what consumes most battery, limit that.
