How to set up TLP power manager on a Lenovo Thinkpad T430?

[vaikus84]

Hello Fellow lappy users

What would be the best way for tweaking TLP power manager under Linux Lite 2.2 64 bit? Do I need to disable some tweaks that could conflict with it?

The goal is to have balanced usage and power consumption and to generate less heat with my lappy.

Do I need to post some hardware info and what would those commands be?

Thank you in advance,

Install using this - http://sourcedigit.com/12715-install-tlp...tery-life/ It does not require any further tweaking.

Thanks Jerry.
Any further links on how to configure the TLP script specifically for ThinkPad T430?

It does not require any further tweaking.

From what I understand it is better to do further tweaking. Since the ThinkPad specific stuff is not active by default.

Hi,

I think you may find better guidance on some of the Hardware specific forums, like:

Thank you for notfying. I have version 0.7.0 installed.
Can't get acpi-call and tpacpi-bat to work though. Going mad over this here  >

Googling shows a lot on the subject
This link gives some guidance,
BUT of interest there is a note about a problem with Thinkpad Firmware and charging not a TLP issue:

Since TLP version 0.7.0 acpi-call and tpacpi-bat also can do the trick for battery tresholds.
I installed the packages but no result. They don't seem to have the right folder structure made into the filesystem.
