[QUOTE="Zoolook, post: 1015546, member: 21101"] If your battery health is 96%, your battery life should still be very good, so something is draining your power too quickly. Launch Activity Monitor and order the processes by %CPU and see what's going on. If less than 15% of your CPU is being used, check spotlight and make sure your HDD is not indexing (this will have the same effect). Incidentally, when the mahcine is plugged in, the time displayed is the time remaining until full charge, not the battery life. [/QUOTE]
