Best way to manage FX503VM battery life?

I'm trying to find the best way to sustain my battery in my FX503VM. I've had it a month and the wear level is at 7% according to Hardware Monitor. It lasts for about 3 hours on battery as of now. Where is the best % to charge it? 30%? Are there any programs I can use that will close down programs I'm not using or disconnect services I am not using. I will be using it for college and want the battery life to be as long as I can get out of it.

Try undervolt the CPU and GPU

I can't. BIOS only allows me to change the boot order.

Use Intel XTU to undervolt the CPU, it's easy to do.

Any guide on how to do that? Never undervolted and I really hate software controls

If something went wrong, you can't exactly reset the Bios? What are you supposed to do if something goes wrong..

Intel XTU is an application within your OS, not a feature of your BIOS. If you watch the full video, you'll know what'll happen if something goes wrong (Hint: The undervolt is removed if there's a stability issue). 

 

WATCH THE VIDEO!!!

as for the GPU side, you can use Afterburner's voltage to frequency graph.

 

the good thing about software is that they dont apply their settings during boot. In other words, just use safe mode will prevent the software from applying their undervolt and let you boot with stock settings.

Ah ok thank you. I'll have to check then. I assume Lower voltage will also help me with thermals?
