Charge question..

[soamz]

Hi..I just got my macbook Pro 13 few hours back..

I was showing 5.21 hours with 65% of battery..
Then I transferred all of my data from the iMac via Time Machine and charged it to 100% and then restarted it now..

Its showing, 99% and 2 hours .

WTF ??

Apple says 10hours min for Macbook Pro. God damn, what Am I missing ?

Have you calibrated it yet?

Have you taken a look at Activity Monitor ( Applications / Utilities / ) and selected All Processes and sorted by CPU to see what the culprit may be.

This should answer most, if not all, of your battery questions: Apple Notebook Battery FAQ

Open Activity Monitor and see the CPU usage. I would guess Spotlight is indexing and thus putting load on CPU meaning more power is used resulting a shorter battery life.
