    Is there any chance that my discrete graphics is running even though I have turned it off to use my intel graphics card?

    I seem to be losing like 40-50 minutes from my full charge capacity.

    Are you running Windows 7? If so there is an issue with the discrete GPU running after the system has een put to sleep in integrated mode. AFAIK, lenovo hasnt fixed this issue yet and the fix is to switch to discrete and then back to integrated mode after waking the system up from sleep.
