    I am now typing on this ec1436u that I bought 1 month ago. The machine is disconnected (no a/c connection). I remember that the battery was about 40~50 minutes left this morning when I put it into sleep. Now I have been using it for 20 minutes, the batterybar and the win7 both report that the laptop s connected and the battery is 100% full and will last for 5:04. It's been like this since I waked it up 20 minutes ago!!! :eek:

    When you wake up a laptop it always has these wacky estimate of time remaining.
