    Hello, I recently left my new MBP charging over night and when I opened it in the morning it only showed 3 hours of battery remaining? Even at the lowest brightness setting it didnt go up any. Now Im at 92% and in says 2:20 remaining at the lowest brightness. Yesterday it was showing 5 hours fully charged, is there something wrong with my battery?

    If you pop into a Apple store or center, they can check your battery health with a quick program, if its faulty they should replace it (if under warranty)
