It's been my observation that the battery meter on all laptops is not linear, nor is the "estimated time remaining" meter. (8+ laptops of various brands in our family over the past 12 yrs; either personal or work; most recent one a Dell less than 1 yr old).

Various reviews of the dv5 have given it "under 3 hrs" on battery power.

If you really want to know how long your laptop will last on battery power, your best bet is to just continue using it until you're down to 10% power. (If you really want to exercise it, watch a movie or something, keeping an eye on the meter). If your "time on with battery" is over 2 hrs, your battery is probably fine. If under, I'd begin to be concerned.

There's a sticky about batteries somewhere in the forums; it's extremely well written, and I highly recommend it. (Unfortunately, I'm new to the forums, and I haven't figured out how to bookmark the sticky threads). But another data point to consider is to look at the age of the battery (there should be a "date manufactured" stamp on it). Li-Ion batteries have a limited shelf life; they may lose > 20% of their capacity over the span of 3 yrs, regardless of use or non-use. They don't suffer from "memory effect", so you can always top off the charge. But heat will really kill them. So, when you check the "date manufactured" stamp, I'd be concerned if the battery were more than 6 months old on a new laptop.

Good luck!
