    sudo apt-get -y install laptop-mode
Enjoy your significantly better battery life. It tweaks a number of system settings and cpu behaviour based on if you're hooked up to mains or not.

How does laptop-mode compare to tlp? Doe it try to to the same thing or are they compatible with each other?

They try to do the same things in different implementations. They conflict with each other and you shouldn't install both. Tlp seems to be the modern default replacing laptop-mode, but I don't have details around why.
