Or if you want to be a little heavy handed, you can run:

  powertop --auto-tune
That should add a nice boost to battery life.

Also, just enabling laptop_mode using laptop-mode-tools also improves the battery life a lot.

You can go and tweak stuff individually if you want, but these two are easy wins.

Honestly though in 2016 why can't whatever is done during auto tune be done without intervention based on a power profile?

"If laptop -> powertop --autotune"

I should submit a patch.
