I had seen some videos about undervolting the A8 Apu in my DV6-6135dx, (not exactly this model) and it increased battery life by an hour or more. Without undervolting, I get about 5 hours of battery life with light web browsing. But when I do a moderate undervolt, checked with intelburntest to be stable, Windows says I only have about 3.5 hours at 99%. Is windows battery life accurate? or should I use a different application or something?
