Laptop really slow on battery

Hello, I have a Lenovo Yoga 730. Its pretty fast but sometimes it gets really hot and loud for no reason. The fans ramp up randomly even tho I only have a few tabs of Firefox open.

The biggest problem shows up when I just use the Battery. The laptop while unplugged is really slow, it takes a few seconds uo even open a folder. I usually keep the battery on "Better Battery" mode or "Best performance", never on power saver.

Here are the specs:

Intel Core i7-8565U

16GB Ram

M.2 SSD NNMe 500GB Crucial P1

Windows 10 Home

 

I already changed the thermal paste and formatted the pc a few times. Even if I dont install anything and let the pc update via Windows 10, I still have these issues.

The bios and the intel igpu are also updated.

 

Thanks for the help!

That’s normal 

laptops slow down when on battery to consume less energy

How old is the battery?

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

Perfectly normal for almost all laptops. The battery is physically incapable of powering the components in their 100% performance state so the CPU, GPU, drives and etc get throttled to conserve energy. It's a BIOS power plan that takes effect

Also the Yoga laptop doesn’t look like a laptop that’s intended for almost always charging like gaming laptops
