Why does Likebook P10's battery discharges so quickly?

I just got my Likebook P10 couple of days ago.

I am getting like a maximum 6 - 7 hours of screen time from 100% to 20%. And the battery discharges quite unevenly. Sometimes I can read up to 1 hour and it only drops 2%. Other times, it can drop 7% or more. What is annoying is it seems to be draining battery on standby. I may turn it off or what you call it standby and the battery may drop a few percent when I come back a couple hours later. Sometimes it just doesn't drop on standby after a couple of hours.

The main thing is it is consuming the battery quite quickly. I charged it up to 100% and barely did any reading and the battery fell to 92% that is probably like 20 mins of screentime? It isn't always like this. There are moments where the battery drain much slower. But all in all I am only able to get around 6 hours of screen time on this crappy device.

I have google framework, all background activities disabled. Barely any wifi activity or at least it will be less than 30 minutes. I did read it for PDFs though, so I am sure the image heavy files would consume battery faster. But I doubt it is a major factor because I read the PDF for like 3 hours and it only drop by around 10%. It just drains battery at different moments.

Feels terrible. I am starting to wonder if Boyue repackages the rejected devices and sell it new. Whatever it is, i will not be touching another Boyue device and strongly advice anyone not to buy Boyue devices. Their product quality is simply too inconsistent. Always go for the established brands. Crappy brands like Boyue are just terrible.
