Battery Issues?

I have got to be doing something wrong, or got a bad battery.

Last night I pulled in from work around 11:00 Pm. My 30 was sitting in my car dock most of the day, it was charged all the way when I took it out, I know that. I did some emails and such for about an hour on the battery before I shut it down for the night. I left it unplugged during the night, again it was shut down. This morning I had less than 2 hours?

If I turn off the wireless switch, which turns off my Bluetooth as well. Screen down to 50%, 58 processes showing, I can only get 4 hours max on a great day.

I have the BIOS set to High Temp since it's in my dock most of the day . Heck, should I start pulling the battery out when I am docking it for all day?

Any advice? I made sure the advanced settings in my power plan are pretty efficient.

 

Whats the name of that battery program I hear about sometimes on here?

And if you need another 20% of battery life ,switch back to normal temperature
