Had little time the last few days so did some sleep testing. Started with a full battery two days ago - indication was 3 hours thirty minutes. Put system to sleep and next day 3 hours left. Immediately put it to sleep again and next day 2 hours 35 left.
Looks like I lose 30 minutes for every 24hrs sleep so shutting down if not needed might be better for me, unless others have better performance here and I am doing something wrong? Is this what I should expect or is there more tweaking possible? For a cheap machine this doesn't worry me but if there is a way to increase this I won't turn it down either, While sleeping all I see is blinking power button.
Standard battery on i3, after two days 67% left if I switch to percentage.
I found a tool called deep sleep which forces hibernate like sleep, haven't tested yet as I'm unsure what it does on a mackintosh. Tried it ut it gives an error on resume:incorrect image signature. Googled it and seems more people have this, haven't found a solution yet.
