    My Predator Helios only lasts about 3 hours, from 80% to 20%. Does my Helios have a battery issue? And also this laptop was only used to Stream Netflix for 2 months. I re-bought it from a friend of mine and I am not a gamer. I just want RTX 3070 Ti GPU since I am editing videos on it. I am very satisfied with my laptop performance but I am now having mental attack since my country don't always provide electricity for 24/7 and when my laptop dies. I can't do anything. I haven't even run any programs like Adobe After Effects on it. Please help.

      Not knowing your Helios model makes it difficult to comment on your battery usage. The RTX 3070 Ti power draw is rated at 290 W maximum so if this is your iGPU you cannot run your laptop on battery alone, not even for 30 minutes. I suggest you get a diesel generator for power outages, I live in the Philippines with frequent power black-outs, often 10 hours long and we just turn on the generator. 😉

      You have to optimize battery usage in windows settings.
      a) put the power plan in power saving mode and enable battery saver.
      b) enable battery boost in geforce experience.
      c) decrease the brightness of the display.
      d) disable bluetooth.
      e) check these functions in the bios:
