Question Reducing the CPU frequency to prolong battery life?

[Wayss37]

I'm curious if (as I understand that's possible), it is a good idea to do it to prolong battery life? Namely doing it in a laptop with Ryzen 5600h and 45Wh battery
Thanks!

Things you can do:

• Keep the screen brightness turned down (not a huge impact)
• Right click on the battery icon and select Windows Mobility Center and select the power saver selection and/or play with the advanced power settings.
• Go to settings/system/battery, scroll down a bit and examine what is using your battery. Maybe you can close or remove some programs.

Windows will do a pretty good job of managing CPU clocks if you let it.
