我们都知道，现在几乎都从 PC 机换到了笔记本电脑了。但是使用笔记本有个问题，我们希望电池耐用，我们可以使用到每一点电量。所以，我们需要知道电量都去哪里了，是不是浪费了。
你可以使用 PowerTOP 工具来查看没有接入电源线时电量都用在了何处。你需要在终端中使用超级用户权限来运行 PowerTOP 工具。它可以访问该电池硬件并测量电量使用情况。
什么是 PowerTOP
PowerTOP 是一个 Linux 工具，用于诊断电量消耗和电源管理的问题。
它是由 Intel 开发的，可以在内核、用户空间和硬件中启用各种节电模式。
除了作为一个一个诊断工具之外，PowerTop 还有一个交互模式，可以让你实验 Linux 发行版没有启用的各种电源管理设置。
它也能监控进程，并展示其中哪个正在使用 CPU，以及从休眠状态页将其唤醒，也可以找出电量消耗特别高的应用程序。
如何安装 PowerTOP
PowerTOP 软件包在大多数发行版的软件库中可用，使用发行版的 包管理器 安装即可。
对于 Fedora 系统，使用 dnf 命令 来安装 PowerTOP。
$ sudo dnf install powertop
对于 Debian/Ubuntu 系统，使用 apt-get 命令 或 apt 命令 来安装 PowerTOP。
$ sudo apt install powertop
对于基于 Arch Linux 的系统，使用 pacman 命令 来安装 PowerTOP。
$ sudo pacman -S powertop
对于 RHEL/CentOS 系统，使用 yum 命令 来安装 PowerTOP。
$ sudo yum install powertop
对于 openSUSE Leap 系统，使用 zypper 命令 来安装 PowerTOP。
$ sudo zypper install powertop
如何使用 PowerTOP
PowerTOP 需要超级用户权限，所以在 Linux 系统中以 root 身份运行 PowerTOP 工具。
默认情况下其显示 “概览” 页，在这里我们可以看到所有设备的电量消耗情况，也可以看到系统的唤醒秒数。
$ sudo powertop
