Hi! I'm new here. I'm using an Acer E1-572. I've noticed a huge battery drain after installing windows 8.1. Before that I was using windows 8 without any battery problems. Usually on win 8 the battery lasts roughly around 4 hours. But after installing windows 8.1 it only lasts around 2 hours. Is there is a solution for this problem??

Hi,

This may happened due to some background application that utilizing high CPU usage. Normally power consumption vary according to CPU usage. You can check it by using below step. ( Close All Running Applications before do this)

1) Press Alt + Ctrl+ Del 

2) Task Manager

3) Select " Performance" 

If the CPU usage abnormally higher, we have to find the particular service which is running background. Please give me your feed back . Will try to find the issue and solve. 

All the Best

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback. Did you update the BIOS ?  The lates one in the Acer Web is 2.03v .

Actually my bios version is v2.04. because of that it gives me an error when I try to update my bios revision. 

I'm littlebit confused by the fact that my notebook has an updated version than the version they've released.
