I know there have been numerous battery threads but I wanted to see if this specific thing is happening to others....so I have charged up and let my battery die then charged up again, at least twice now....I find that my battery at first says 5-6 hours remaining or so, then drops to 4 after a couple hours, then after a few more hours goes down to about 3:50, levels at that until about 40% remaining or so then goes to 2 for a couple more hours, once I hit about 1:30 left I can last another 2 hours at least.....

Does this battery need to learn a pattern or something? seems like I get at least or more than the 7 hours as advertised, but the distribution of time remaining is odd.....my 2010 MBA didn't seem as drastic as this, and I could always get it to start at like 11 hours remaining....
