Windows 10: Can I do anything to save my battery?

So I've been having issues with batter capacity since around February. It started shutting down around 25% (Maybe an hour and a half at most?) around the beginning of February, then started shutting down at 45-50% (about 30-40 minutes) in the middle of the month. Starting from around the 6-9th, I'm not able to unplug my computer because it'll just shut down.

And I mean, I get it's kinda toast, but is there anything I can do besides replace my battery?

Overclocking to Save Battery ?

Somebody was suggesting me this, to improve the performance of the battery overclock the phone to 900MHz, it will slow down the processor but will save quite a bit of battery.



My question is

• is it true
• How safe it is, will it cause any damage, working, functionality, features of the phone.
• What side effect, negative effect can it have on the working of the phone.

inshort is it advisable ?
