TLP - Optimize Linux Laptop Battery Life

TLP is a feature-rich utility for Linux, saving laptop battery power without the need to delve deeper into technical details.

TLP’s default settings are already optimized for battery life, so you may just install and forget it. Nevertheless TLP is highly customizable to meet your specific requirements.

Settings are organized into three customizable profiles performance (AC), balanced (BAT) and power-saver (SAV), allowing to adjust between savings and performance independently for battery and AC operation.

Version 1.9 introduces the (optional) TLP profiles daemon (tlp-pd), which enables choosing between the three profiles with a mouse click. Together with TLP as the backend it replaces power-profiles-daemon by implementing the same D-Bus API that major Linux desktop environments like GNOME, KDE and Cinnamon already use for switching power profiles.

In addition TLP can enable or disable Bluetooth, NFC, Wi-Fi and WWAN radio devices on boot and when connecting/removing the LAN cable.

For ThinkPads and other supported laptops it provides a unified approach to battery charge thresholds.
