Hello,
I have noticed that the health readings of my lenovo t480’s internal and external batteries appear to rapidly decrease when I boot into Manjaro. In a matter of a month, they have reduced from a condition of 93% and 90% respectively to both less than 50% in extremely light usage; being only used once or twice per week for simple tasks such as using firefox for a few minutes. Re calibrating the batteries in a dual booted windows install brought it back up to 83%, however, I am concerned about the longevity of my device shall this problem continue.
I have set identical battery thresholds in both windows and manjaro, and installed programs such as slimbookbattery (tlp) and throttlestop on my linux side to little effect. Additionally, I have checked that my drivers are up to date on both OSes using Lenovo Vantage and fwupdmgr. Using the uefi diagnostic tool pulls no errors from any of the components after full testing.
At this point, I have no clue what may be the cause of this issue. Although I am a beginner to linux systems I am open to any suggestions to fix this problem.
