Description: Optimize laptop battery life
TLP is a feature-rich command-line utility, saving laptop battery power
without the need to delve deeper into technical details.
.
TLP’s default settings are already optimized for battery life and implement
Powertop’s recommendations out of the box. Moreover TLP is highly
customizable to fulfil specific user requirements.
.
Settings are organized into two profiles, allowing to adjust between
savings and performance independently for battery (BAT) and AC operation.
In addition TLP can enable or disable Bluetooth, NFC, Wi-Fi and WWAN radio
devices on boot.
.
For ThinkPads and selected other laptops it provides a unified way
to configure charge thresholds and recalibrate the battery.
