I have the SP3 / 256 /i5 /8gb and a SanDisk 128GB micro sd card and Windows 10 with all updates current. I am running Battery Pro (Free) and Tune Up Utilities in the background.
I have read through the Optimize battery thread and I believe implemented all of those suggestions as well as a couple other sites.
My battery pro shows 4:25 at 100% battery with 8.2% loss to wear 38,714 of 42,157 mwh. I believe my screen is 40%. Notifications are off, no startups in the background running. I usually use my SP3 for browsing, Edge / watching movies on Netflix, and downloading the occasional movie. I believe I have all updates. I'm just attempting to figure out how people are getting 6 hours on this. I have contemplating upgrading at least to the SP4, but cost is an issue and other than battery, this does everything I need.
Any thoughts?
Thanks for reading
