Acer predator 8 GT-810 battery drain

I have fed up with the battery drain the tablet has.

 I have set following options:

1. Set device to power saving mode

2: Location is off

3: wifi scanning off

4: Background processes in developer options: NO background process

5: I just have 4-5 apps downloaded apart from what comes with the tablet.

 

Even after doing this the battery drain is high. With lightest use such as reading a pdf the tablet becomes hot.

Not even getting 3 hrs screen on time.

 

Acer  !!! I bought this tablet with a lot of expectations. At least update the tablet so that it can be used as a normal tablet. I am not even asking it to be gaming tablet. Is that a lot to ask?

    Perhaps a driver problem? You might want to check at Acer Support for your driver for the battery. If you cannot find a battery driver, try the CPU driver. If the CPU driver doesn't work, perhaps call Acer support?

    But it is a tablet. I can't do anything about it unless Acer updates the android version or fixes the bugs in the android 5.1.

    Oh, sorry, I thought it was a windows tablet.

    If you don't have any important data, a reset may be helpful? Also, in settings, is there not a battery option that list the apps using the most battery in order?

    Try a factory reset first, but backup all your personal data:

    settings/backup & reset - factory data reset

     

    if battery drain persist, contact Acer support service, maybe there's a faulty battery controller or the battery itself.
