    How to balance performance and battery life?


    Hi all, so I have a new Surface Laptop 5, and I wanted to know if there is a way to run some light games at a decent performance and have a good battery life? I'm running Persona 5 on this, and the battery life goes down really fast, despite the performance being great. I wanted to know if there was a way to make the battery life last longer and have at least a playable performance in the game, since battery saver makes it lag a lot. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

    :)

    How to balance performance and battery life?

    Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

    My name is welcome to the community.

    Hello Thaddayyus, the only way would be if the game has performance mode in internal settings.

    Some games like Fortnite, for example, you can put in performance mode and this requires less hardware from your PC.

    There is also the power settings of windows itself.

    Best AA batteries for Xbox One controller, Scuf one and Canon and Sony Digital Camera

    I found these batteries "The Extended Battery Life " to be perfect for gaming and also Digital Camera usage taking pictures or shooting High Res video, I am a Hardcore gamer and plays atleast 8 hours per day and I also found the batteries you mentioned above
    to perform poorly.

    Here's a picture of my controller with the Extended Battery Life AA batteries in it, hope this helps.

    How to check battery life?

    Hey Jenks,



    Sorry for the disconnect issues while playing your game. Its not a fun one to experience. As of right now there is no battery display yet on the console. I believe the illuminated Xbox home button will flash when the battery is low but that is still a theory.
    I have mine charging after I am done playing for a day or so.



    Reach back and let us know if this works and if you have any further questions we can help with.

    Battery Life

    Start your gaming session with a full battery and always keep a fully charged spare by your side. Common sense really.
