G15 5520, battery drain

Battery drain heavily after the new update even if the laptop software is up to date and my battery health is 82.3%.  still not getting enough battery backup. it max 1.5hrs. need a solution. i tried every solution possible to me like using low performance on battery energy saver etc but still no result.

    Try disabling the discrete GPU -- does that help?

    @Abhishek0511 its because of the latest BIOS update 1.29 and 1.30 for this system.

    the main thread is here:

    @Abhishek0511​ nope, we cant downgrade the BIOS as DELL has blocked downgrade for "security reasons". So we are just a sitting duck with our ovens until a new updates roll out. New update should be soon ig cuz its Feb already
