    My laptop, an NP 5160 last about an hour after unplugging battery charger. One thing i noticed is the HPUID program shows Designed capacity at 62160 mWh, Full charge 8336 mWh and Wear level is 87%.
    Does this make sense, I would think lasting an hour, 87% wear rate, that the 8336 mWh is incorrect.

    Take the figures with grains of salt but it does sound like new battery time if you want it to last longer.
