[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1474226, member: 56379"] Not exactly. There are two different percentages related to the battery being discussed here: 1. One is the percent of battery cycles remaining (battery has 1000 charge/discharge cycles when brand new). Earlier you mentioned 75 battery cycles on the computer…which equates to 92% of the battery cycles remaining. 2. Two is the percent of battery RUNTIME (hours & minutes) remaining on the current battery charge. #2 seems to be what you're talking about (not #1)…which is the battery % that you see in the upper right of the menu bar. This percentage (hours/minutes remaining)…is a "dynamic" number…and it will change as the demand on the computer changes. If you have the brightness on high, bluetooth on, WIFI on, and doing something demanding like watching internet videos…then battery runtime (on the current battery charge) will be shorter. If you turn brightness down, turn bluetooth off, don't watch videos, etc…battery runtime on the current charge will be longer. - Nick [/QUOTE]
