# Optimize battery
1. [TL;DR](#tldr)
1. [Disable unused services](#disable-unused-services)
1. [Improve battery performance](#improve-battery-performance)
1. [Further readings](#further-readings)
## TL;DR
```sh
# Summarize performance of the last boot.
sudo systemd-analyze
# Show last boot performance.
# Also shows the process tree.
sudo systemd-analyze critical-chain
# Check power stats.
sudo 'powertop'
```
## Disable unused services
```sh
$ sudo systemd-analyze
Startup finished in 13.129s (firmware) + 5.413s (loader) + 1.746s (kernel) + 7.903s (userspace) = 28.192s
graphical.target reached after 1.239s in userspace
$ sudo systemd-analyze critical-chain
The time when unit became active or started is printed after the "@" character.
The time the unit took to start is printed after the "+" character.

└─polkit.service @937ms +215ms

└─sockets.target @928ms

└─system.slice @197ms
└─-.slice @197ms
```
## Improve battery performance
```sh
# Enable automatic power management.
# See `tlpui` on GitHub for UI.
sudo systemctl enable --now 'tlp.service'
sudo vim '/etc/tlp.conf'
# Check power stats.
sudo 'powertop'
```
