Battery draining too quickly #10

After installing macOS 10.15.4, everything now seems to be working fine but I think that battery is draining too quickly and also maybe getting damaged somehow. I use my laptop Asus X510 UNR for Android and Web Development (Mostly Android) and the battery lasts about less than an hour on a single charge. I have to keep my laptop connected to a power source for uninterrupted workflow. Honestly, I don't mind keeping my laptop connected to a power source but recently I noticed something that made me submit this issue.

As you can see in the screenshot above, this warning wasn't there when I installed macOS. It appeared recently and made me worried about my laptop. Is this a serious issue? Is there any solution for this?

Side note: I don't keep my laptop connected to a power source all the time. I connect it only when the battery level reaches below 10% and I remove it as soon as it reaches 100%.

Is this issue new in 10.15.4?
By user experience, the battery management is different for macOS and Windows.
Here's what you could do:

  1. Let the laptop run with power connected for an hour.
  2. Disable XCPM (SSDT-PLUG.aml) to see if the reading becomes any different.
    Aside that, please post your patchmatic ACPI here. FBST may need to be patched.

Honestly speaking, I'm new to all this stuff and I don't really know where to find patchmatic ACPI. Can you link me with an instruction article that can help me to get that patchmatic ACPI?

Google patchmatic and download the binary from github.
This is the command you type into the terminal:
cd ~/Desktop
mkdir extract
cd extract
patchmatic -extract

After running pathcmatic -extract, I got 24 files which I've attached below in a zip file. Please have a look. Thanks in advance. 🙏🏼

Your battery code is no different than mine.
Let the laptop run on power for an hour and see if that fixes the issue.

Edit
Take a screenshot of System Profiler-Power and post it here please.

You have disabled the nvidia GPU right ?

I have simply copied open core folder from this repo into my efi. Also I've made some changes in config.plist to enable keyboard backlit. I haven't done anything else.

Add -wegnoepgu to ur boot args to disable nvidia GPU. That should save significant amount of power.

@abhidiwakar Report please.
@dayfly 전원 연결하고 한 시간 놔두고 나서 테스트해보세요. 충전 제거하고 10%까지 몇 시간 걸리는지 알려주세요.

Show your System Profiler's battery capacity at 100%, and then start the count, please.
시스템 리포트에서 100%일 때의 배터리 용량 스크린샷으로 올려주세요. 그리고 나서 몇 시간 걸리는지 재보세요. 간단한 브라우저 사용만 하는 중에서요.

네 문제 없으시네요.
Confirmed same discharging rate among the X510U models, around 3-4 hours.

If anyone comes across the same problem, which really isn't, read #10 (comment) and #10 (comment)

마지막으로 질문 하나만 해도될까요? CPUFriendDataProvider.kext 이거를 맥북 에어 8.2로 바꾸었는데 smbios모델로 같이 바꾸어야 하나요>?

@dayfly README에 없는 내용입니다. 제 가이드와 상관 없는 질문이에요. 이 Issue와도 상관 없는 질문이에요. 그리고 Github 사용취지에 알맞지도 않습니다.
가이드와 상관 있는 질문이란 "CPUFriendDataProvider.kext 어떻게 사용하는건가요/다른 것으로 교체해보고 싶습니다." 정도 입니다.
이 Issue와 상관 있는 것이란 "배터리 방전 관련해서 여러 가지 시도해보고 싶었기 때문에 CPUFriendDataProvider.kext를 바꾸어 보았습니다." 정도 입니다.
Github 사용취지에 알맞는 것이란 "다른 CPUFriendDataProvider.kext를 사용했을 때 이런 저런 점이 있습니다." 정도 입니다.
그리고 질문하실 때 위의 관련성과 사용취지와 상관 없이 정확한 답변을 원하시면 정확한 데이터를 제공해주세요.
무슨 이유로 CPUFriendDataProvider.kext를 바꾸셨는지.
어디서 이 켁스트를 구하셨는지.
CPUFriend 사용법 읽어보셨는지.
여기 제공되는 CPUFriendDataProvider.kext가 맥북 에어 8.2라고 생각해 보셨는지.
지금 사용중에 발생하는 현상/문제점/장점이 무엇인지.
원하는 질문 딱 던져 놓고 될 대로 되라 하시면 피곤합니다. 제가 "될 대로 되라"라고 생각하는 근거는 질문에 오타를 수정할 시도도 안 했다는 점이죠.

마지막으로 질문 하나만 해도될까요? CPUFriendDataProvider.kext 이거를 맥북 에어 8.2로 바꾸었는데 smbios모델로 같이 바꾸어야 하나요****>****?

충분히 고려하신 후 관련 있는 내용으로 질문해주세요.
