Interesting @juiceme, but this raises 2 questions for me:
- as I didn't run any "real" experiment before the update, if I do this now, I don't how I will be able to use this results, any idea?
- could you please describe the process to run such measures?

Very simple; I just have a small shellscript that logs power usage, like this:

Code:

#!/bin/bash



battery=$(upower -d | grep percentage | awk '{print $2}')

date=$(TZ='Europe/Helsinki' date "+%d.%m.%Y %H:%M")

echo "$date  -->  $battery"

Then I have entry in my crontab that calls the script every half-an-hour;

Code:

# log power usage every 30 minutes
