    Hi All!

    Been a long tine since I posted here,

    Just received a new battery for my T520 (Windows 7) and its only showing 1 hour remaining after the initial charge. (Screen is at full brightness)

    It is the six cell 0A36302 Thinkpad Battery 70+

    Is there anything I should settings / drivers / OS wise or is this expected? Calibration? I guess I was hoping for more life...

    Thanks so much, appreciate your help!

    Please disregard this post, I forgot my external monitor was plugged in, now seeing better battery life estimates. I went ahead and ran system update as well. Sorry everyone.
