So I tested battery life with PCMark8 just to have a standardized way of testing battery life between using UXTU and stock. The relative value is more important than the actual value. When using UXTU, I got 4 hours compared to 4.5 hours while stock. So it seems that leaving things stock improves battery life. I’m not sure why this is the case as using the curve optimizer, I noticed that max temps under cinebench23 were lower.
