    My battery lasted for 3hrs and 13mins yesterday and today it lasted for 2hrs and 25mins. It's a 6 cell 4400 mAh Li-On. I've had this laptop for a few days and bought it as new. I've only been browsing the Internet.

    The battery charged up to 98% and discharged to 15%

    Battery life really depends on what you're doing with the machine... that aside, you never fully discharged the battery, so the difference in life is probably reasonable.

    You have run the battery down and these are actual numbers? Or what the system tells you?
