    I bought a refurbed 4 cell battery for x61s. Charged to 100%, after about 70 minutes of wireless web surfing (just browsing, no sound/video), only about 43% left. So it used 57% in 1 hour and 10 minute. That's about 2 hours for 100%. Does this seem normal, or is refurbed inferior?

    What's the screen brightness at?

    Also, you can check the battery stats in Power Manager to see how many Wh of charge it can hold.

    The screen was not very bright, I think it's the usual setting for on battery by power manager. Design capacity 28.80 Wh.
