I'll check and update this comment in 5 min.
Edit:-
No such option available.
Also, check your battery health. Open menu, type info, choose system information, then energy:
You will see your battery health, original battery capacity, current capacity, current load, etc.
It is possible, that your battery degradation coincidentally happened in the same time you installed Manjaro and it may look like Manjaro's fault, but if battery is in poor state, it had to be degrading before that and now it just happened. The only solution to poor battery is to find and buy a new one.
Another thing you can check is to use powetop. Open Konsole and type:
sudo powertop
Experiment with this tool and learn what is eating your energy, because something may be set incorrectly if your battery is still OK.
Here is my output to give you some reference (I don't complain on battery life, it will last ca. 4h on Intel):

For my my audio codec uses:
0 mW 100,0% Audio codec hwC1D0: Creative, so despite 100%, it uses currently no energy. Or maybe I misunderstand it?
The interesting stat is:
System baseline power is estimated at 7.04 W
Does it mean that this is the average power consumption? I guess we need some powertop experts. I'm not one of them.
From your screenshot, it looks you may have ca. 2 hours battery on Intel, 1 hour on Nvidia, but it depends on the laptop's screen. I have 17 inch screen so it needs larger battery and I'm extrapolating for the same screen size for you, With smaller screen, your real battery life may be much higher.
Actually I have 15.6 inch 1080p 60Hz panel.
