Good work – showed what I always knew – batteries like aerials are a black art! My recently acquired Tosh disagrees with the advice given in Vista about managing battery life – so who do you believe? I err in favour of the manufacturer but still take everything with a pinch. Shame that battery life doesn’t seem to have improved much in the last 5 years or so.

nice analysis, It simpy reveals that we can not use our laptops as we should due to batteries No USB. NO WIFI, No office,dimmed screen , headache )) can not even contimue to edit your article .. I’m sure that was not what you had in mind when you purchased that toy .. Wouldn’t those battery manufacturers ealize that and provide us with decent batteries .

I have a 1 yr old Compaq F572US and the battery will display 100% left and then unplug the AC adaptor and 10 minutes later it will be 70% left even with screen dimmed and the power saver mode with no wifi on. Weird thing is it will go from 50-60% left to sleep like a dead battery. Funny thing is resuming from sleep mode the battery will display 5% lifeleft. What is causing this sudden drop from 50-60% of life down to 5% or what is causing the incorrect reading and progress of the battery draining?

Should You recharge the battery often before it goes down?
