how to improve battery life macOS Sierra and Windows 10 (Parallels 13 Pro)

>>> Message has been deleted by the user <<<

 

I am having this exact issue!
Is there a simple solution yet?

 

I have the same issue...I read so many customer posts experiencing battery issue with new MBP w/ touch strip...Parallels, can you at least make a one page web site shows how to collect data for trouble shoot and perhaps short term resolution is?

 

Same problem 2018 13" with touchbar, only using MS Office, battery life only 3 hours

 

Same here, MacBook Pro 15" 2017 (only about 4 months old). I was literally watching the battery % counting down. Almost 1% a minute.

 

Guys please see my post https://forum.parallels.com/threads...ndows-10-parallels-13-pro.341822/#post-827433
Need more information to diagnose the situation.

 

2018 MBP 3 hours max, can't go on a long flight or I'm dead.

 

Same here - MBP 2017 - not even 3 hours.
This is very disappointing since I am a huge fan of Parallels on Mac, but this is not usable - without a fix I will switch back to VMware Fusion Pro.
Please find the root cause and fix it.

 

Have a 2012 Mac Book Air running Parallels 13 and Windows 10 with High Sierra as the host.
I Just replaced the MAC battery.
After 1 hour it dies. I now have not loaded Parallels and have 5+ hours of battery.
All I use is MS Office, the EDGE browser and Quicken for Windows.
What gives?

 

From the evidence here it's clear it's not a unique issue so with all due respect you have a sufficient time to analyze this issue. As a community we are always happy to help but we pay for ongoing support. Fix the issue.

 

So this post started almost a year ago and yet we have no solution.
Things should not take a year to correct.
When will it be corrected?

 

Technical support ID: 269864845
Can't get more than 1.5 hours when Parallels in running on a new MacBook pro Touchbar.

 

WELL? An acknowledgement would be nice.

 

I agree, an official statement would be nice. Come on guys, you can do better than that!

 

I think I found an answer!
I turned off Cortana's speech function! Windows settings>Cortana> Hey Cortana> Let Cortana respond to "Hey Cortana"> turn off
I am testing it now but I have 4hrs 51 minutes on the battery now where I had 1hr 30 min before.
Keep your fingers crossed.

 

Not applicable for macOS users!

 

Ok folks I have gotten 3hrs and 12 min without Cortana. I did not have travel mode will try it with travel mode on after a recharge for the MacBook. Much better than 1hr 30 min!

 

Why not? Aren't you using windows 10 as your VM? I am with High Sierra as the host.
Just go into the Windows settings and
change them as above.

 

No, mostly Windows Server 2012 R2 or 2016 within may lab environment or CentOS.
