    Hate to tell you, but I think that CPU Rightmark utility is inaccurate. There is no way your Thinkpad (x300?) draws 1.2 watts when it is running. That is about right for standby usage, but it is only about 1/10 of what you should get when actually using your laptop. I like Thinkpad batteries as well due to their capacity, but I think replacements are too expensive.
