Sometimes battery drain too fast

[nikhil19rathore99]

I've used cpufriend from pm's pikers scipt method but my battery drains too fast Will it possible to make longer battery life from your cpu provider kext I've used manjaro linux alongside with mac it gives me 4hr+ battery on browsing and normal work but on mac it won't give me a even 2.3hr Will it be possible to get more battery life on normal work System specs: Asus X556UQK Processor: i5-7200U Ram: 8GB Thanks

EFI.zip I'll share my EFI to you so you better understand the which CPU provider kext i used?? Help me to get better battery management also one more thing It says service recommended

@nikhil19rathore99 Your X86PlatformPlugin.kext is not loading, try to remove CPUFriend.kext, CPUFriendDataProvider.kext, and CpuTscSync.kext. For modern platform laptops, pikers script is no longer needed. Just choose a correct SMBIOS will bring great power control.

Without cputcsync i am not able to go to the login because it was stuck at login like graphics stucks

About SMBIOS which one should i use 14,2 or any other

[stevezhengshiqi]

14,1 is good. Get rid of CPUFriendDataProvider you may see different Energy Saver panel.

Will i get better battery management now?? Please look at it i've attached Ioreg of my mac

Asus_X556UQK.zip

Looks better to me, at least X86PlugInFamily is loaded according to your ioreg. More PM information can be found by running AppleIntelInfo.kext

now 2% drop in 1.3 min, that is too fast.

Sorry Bymistake i close it, and how i get the info from AppleIntelInfo, For the X86PluginFamily it was there since the begining in my mac
