    When my notebook is on battery mode, Vista will only show a %age on the toolbar, but it wont calculate a remaining time for me.. this seems potentially annoying..
    I have tried a alternate software to show remaining battery time, no success either.
    Does anyone else's clevo do this? I have heard of this problem with HP notebooks but not Clevos :|

    My system does not show remaining time,only remaining battery . Sadly,I think it`s the way it`s designed.

    My battery meter shows time and %. Not sure why yours doesn't, although I've seen the same thing in my friends' HP laptops where only the % shows.
