Yes, that’s what I’m aiming for. I’ve got a thinkpad x1 carbon 10th gen which is known for its not-so-great battery life, and so I’m trying to use the low-power setting for battery-only to see if that helps. If that doesn’t work I might try auto-cpufreq (do you know anything about that?) In any event, thanks very much for your response, I’ll create the .conf file and see if it works. 🙂👍
Do you want
low-powersetting only on a battery?Create, for example,
/etc/tlp.d/99-custom.conffile, with content:PLATFORM_PROFILE_ON_BAT=low-powerReload the settings:
tlp startAnd make sure the
tlpservice is enabled.Yes, that’s what I’m aiming for.

TLP can also control CPU clock.
I’m using these settings on my trusty X260:
CPU_SCALING_GOVERNOR_ON_AC=performance CPU_SCALING_GOVERNOR_ON_BAT=powersave CPU_MIN_PERF_ON_AC=0 CPU_MAX_PERF_ON_AC=100 CPU_MIN_PERF_ON_BAT=0 CPU_MAX_PERF_ON_BAT=30 CPU_BOOST_ON_AC=1 CPU_BOOST_ON_BAT=0 CPU_HWP_DYN_BOOST_ON_AC=1 CPU_HWP_DYN_BOOST_ON_BAT=0 SCHED_POWERSAVE_ON_AC=0 SCHED_POWERSAVE_ON_BAT=1 USB_EXCLUDE_WWAN=1deleted by creator
