    I've had my T400 for a month now and while it works well, I've noticed in the past week or so, the power manager has given me some wildly inaccurate battery time left(49 hours??) and now it seems that my average battery life has gone down from 4+ hours to 3 Hours on the same setting.

    I have 6-Cell, running on integrated, energy star power plan. Does anybody know whether this is typical wear, or is there anything i can do?
    Thanks
