I have an Intel Atom processor, and for some reason the newer kernels eat my battery. I have added a couple boot parameters, which help... particularly with the heat. I have installed powertop and laptop-mode-tools. The latter I have no clue how to use. Got any hot tips? I'll happily provide more info as its needed.
