I am very new in Linux and had installed recently. The problem which i am facing currently about battery drainage in laptop. So, I read someone where to install powertop and check the status of the Tunables tab. I found few BAD status. Please take a look at the below screenshot. I am using HP DV6 1319tx model.

You can optimize each of those settings for low power consumption (Good) instead of potentially better performance (Bad) by pressing Enter while they are highlighted in interactive mode.

Alternatively, PowerTOP can automatically tune all settings for low power usage if you run the command

sudo powertop --auto-tune

Whether the Good (lower power usage) or Bad (maybe higher performance) settings or a specific combination of those are more suitable for you depends on whether you need long battery life or high performance more. The decision is up to you.
