Battery life very low compared to windows on Acer Nitro 5 Monterey Build

[Ouici Yall]

Hello,

I've successfully installed Monterey on my Acer Nitro 5 Laptop, here are the specs:

i7 10750h, RTX 3060, Intel WIFI, AX201 Ethernet... Everything is working perfectly except that the battery life is terrible compared to Windows 10. I get about 6hrs with light browsing on Windows. about 1hr idle on Mac. I've disabled dGPU using Device Properties method, sleep and power management seem to be working, so I can't figure out what's causing this battery issue. In Windows CPU temp while light browsing hovers around 40C, on Mac while idling it hovers around 50, and doesn't go lower than 46. If anybody could help, it would be greatly appreciated. 

I've attached IORegistry save

and here is a link to EFI:

Thanks in advance!

Via device properties ur dgpu is just hide, not full disable.

U can use Rehabman way to complete disable

Thanks for your reply!

 

I tried disabling using rehab man method, it doesn't make a difference in battery life.  And I noticed that in IORegistry, it seems that it is still drawing power?  I've linked a screenshot.

and here is IORegistry save

Please advise, thanks!

Update:

I was able to disable dGPU using Bumblebee method described here.  It greatly increased my battery life, almost equal to windows. However, after sleep, it seems dGPU comes back on, because my battery life goes back to the way it was, as well as raised Wattage and Temperatures in intel power gadget.  Any ideas?

Do you have any ideas how to keep dGPU off after sleep?
