x17 R1, battery life

I have a month with my X17, the battery only last for one and a half hour. I made a clean install of windows 10 and i get 5 hours or more, the next day it returns to the same issue, starts consuming more power at idle more than 50,000 mW, does anyone have the same issue? Can someone help me?

Hi @Dmizrahi please create windows Battery Report to determine its ability to hold charge. Windows 10 Battery Report: What It Is And How to Use It (lifewire.com) During the first year only, the Dell battery warranty will provide new OEM battery replacement if it has a fault, or if supplied near to its end of life.

Everything looks fine, the problem is the consumption of the laptop, when i verify the real time consumption on INTEL GRAPHICS COMMAND CENTER after the clean installation of windows it showed from 15,000 to 25,000 mW of use the next day after i install just the alienware command center it started to show 55,000 mW of use when idle.

Hi @Dmizrahi Is there any good reason to have AWCC running? if AWCC and OC Controls is not completely removed there can be problems. Please use Revo Uninstaller Free and its advanced scan to remove AWCC and OC Controls. Then use X17 R1 with no AWCC installed for a few days, to see if this is the root cause of excessive battery capacity reduction. Thanks.

I have the same issue. I just purchased the Inspiron 14 touch screen. I get maybe three hours? 

This is crazy. I will think twice about recommending this laptop.
