I'm getting about the same on a couple of laptops myself. It seems to be a strong point of MX in several reviews compared to some other distros, so I thought I'd set up a poll.
For MX vs other distros, we could have another poll...
[Poll] How's your battery life in MX compared to Windows?
Re: [Poll] How's your battery life in MX compared to Windows?
This is on my old Acer Aspire 5742. I'm getting 2.5 hours use out of it now, whereas previously it was just under 2 hours.
HP 15; ryzen 3 5300U APU; 500 Gb SSD; 8GB ram
Aspire V5-571; CPU Intel I3; 500 GB SSD; Intel 2nd Gen Graphics; 8 GB Ram
Aspire XC-866; i3-9100; UHD 630; 8 GB ram; 1TB HDD
In Linux, newer isn't always better. The best solution is the one that works.

Re: [Poll] How's your battery life in MX compared to Windows?
And myself I'm not using a laptop. At least as my primary equipment. I been using a Desktop since I bought my first Desktop back in 1995. I do own a laptop, which I only use for traveling. MX is on my Desktop. I have ElementaryOS on my laptop. But when I do use my laptop, I always plug it in. Outlets are only two feet away from me, most of the time. So I never ever use my batter power on my laptop. I always use AC for my laptop. I'm on it to long. So I always have it plug in, so I don't have to worry about battery power at all.
Re: [Poll] How's your battery life in MX compared to Windows?
Personally, I get about 4-6 hours battery life on my laptop with MX. I never use that amount. I rarely get below a 70% charge.
