Low Battery Life Dell XPS 9570

Hey Guys, 

 

I know this may not be the best place to post this, but I honestly do not know where else to turn. Within the past two months, I have been noticing that my dell xps 9570's average battery life has dropped considerably from 8-9 hours on a full charge to around 2-3 hours on a full charge, this even occurring when the computer is idle or when I am using a web browser. During this time span, I have reinstalled drivers, installed a new battery, installed a new heatsink and fans due to the computer initially overheating on idle, stopped background app processes, and have checked task manager to see what apps were using too much power to no avail. Recently, I even sent the computer into the advanced resolution center at dell to see if they could figure out what the issue was, and all they did was replace the battery (again) and cables connect the motherboard to the battery and dc jack. One thing I will note is that I did also have the motherboard replaced in this computer due to a defective stock motherboard, and I have installed a 2 TB WD Black SN750 ssd since I have some storage needs, but regardless, the battery drainage issue happened roughly two months after I had replaced the ssd and motherboard. I am assuming at this point that there is a software issue, but I cannot seem to find a culprit program causing the issues. If anyone has any suggestions as to what I should do, I would really appreciate it, since I am at my wits end at the moment. 

 

By the way, the specs on my laptop are as follows:

4K IPS display, 32 GB ram, 2 TB WD Black SN750 ssd, Intel UHD 630  integrated graphics, 1050 Ti-MaxQ GPU, and an Intel AX200 wifi card.

Do a fresh install of windows and see if something changes. This behavior is so strange.

Thanks, I am planning on doing this today.

Hey everyone, just as an update. The windows reinstall did not help my issue with the battery life and so Dell actually exchanged my XPS 9570 with the newer 7590. So far the battery life has been really good, ranging between 9-10 hours of battery life under normal use. Thanks again to everyone that helped me out. I really appreciate it.
