Q: battery life after memory upgrade

I have a 2012 MBP with an aftermarket Samsung SSD and 16GB RAM. I recently upgraded the RAM to 16GB from 8, and immediately after I noticed a significant drop in battery life. I travel a lot for work, and am now challenged in keeping my laptop running through the end of a 3-4hr flight, when before the memory upgrade I never had to think about it.

 

Any idea why I'm seeing such a performance drop after a memory upgrade?

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X El Capitan (10.11.5), null
