Intel 12th gen processors have poor power efficiency.

You probably need to adjust boost settings with tools like Throttlestop (which I'm not that familiar with).

The biggest battery drainer on any laptop is the screen, so the lower the brightness, the better the battery life. If you've got one of the higher resolution screens, they're known to deplete the battery more quickly. Batteries do degrade over time as well and this one is now almost two years old. I had the ultra bay battery for my R60 and it was down to less than 50% capacity after six months. You might want to check the number of battery cycles and what the remaining battery capacity is. Was the runtime this low when you bought it:?
