rfkill (software but not hardware) block bluetooth saves battery?


I want to disable bluetooth to save battery power. "rfkill block bluetooth" blocks software but not hardware, so am I saving battery power, and if not then how to block hardware? I'm on command line/Weston Voidlinux on a Lenovo N21chromebook.

i'd start by looking in bios, maybe it can be disabled there.
if that's not possible, i'd blacklist the kernel module.
