@RuizSenior Not a developer, but a user for many years now. The long and short is that this will depend on your system and posting specs is a good idea. That being said, for general advice, I highly recommend reading the Guide to Power Management Options, for a TL;DR:
- You can set it up to use integrated on battery and dedicated on external
- Or, you can set up hybrid, so it maximizes efficiency until power is needed and autoswitches to NVIDIA for power
In any case, for power switching, I recommend you set it to use Nouveau with PCI_reset=no, PCI_power_control=yes, PCI_remove=no. This is the default (step 2 in the link) that runs most efficiently.
If, for some reason, that doesn't work, go through the other options in the link. Again, depending on your system, I recommend you grab Optimus Manager QT so that you have a graphical interface to make life easier.
For added notes, make sure you read the V1.3.1 readme, ESPECIALLY if you use Manjaro as it has a required step in there and gives a lot more useful information.

Closing this since the discussion seems to have been ended.
Also, other power management tools like tlp
or laptop-mode
should be used in conjunction with optimus-manager-git
for best handling battery drain.
