    Hey guys,

    I received my new CTO-QS Z yesterday morning. I fully charged it before using it. After that I removed all the bloatware etc, customized it. Then I unplugged it from the power source and checked what the remaining time was and it should a little over 5 hours !! I thought the Z and SR had the problem where they did not show the correct time left on batter?

    Once it was fully charged in the night, I left it unplugged over night and roughly after 10 hours I turned it on to check the battery and was surprised to see 99% left. I used the machine for about 15 minutes and there was no sudden drop in battery life.

    Did sony address both the issues on the latest Z being produced?
