    Hi

    First of all I´m sorry about my bad english.
    I recently bought a DV5 1165ep and I have a question for you all.
    How can I know what´s the time of battery left until a new charge?
    The only thing can find here is a green/orange/red bar on tray, but it doesn´t give me the time left of battery.

    Thanks in advance

    There are some batteries that are smart enough to report the time remaining on top of what percentage of power is left (all batteries show the percentage)... unfortunately not every manufacturer implements this feature...
