Lenovo Yoga 500 Battery Mode

[Windows Central Question]

Battery drainer not saver.

When I put my laptop (Lenovo Yoga 500) on battery saving mode it seems to drain faster. I put everything to the lightest possible setting. The battery indicator also tells of a shorter time remaining. Any ideas?

When I put it on battery saving mode it drains faster, or it indicates a shorter battery life time.

Have a look in task manager to see if anything is gobbling up cpu cycles when you enable battery saver?
