Hi people,
I've bought a new MBP a week ago. I didn't spend the time I wanted with it, but I'm finally using it.
The first time I used it, I saw in iStat Pro that the battery life was 98%. I was not worried because it was its first use. Today I decided to check it again and I saw battery life is 92% now! Why?!
Also, the battery remaining time of Lion (not Mountain Lion) is pretty variable! While I am writing this, I had 5:35 and 4:45 time remaining in just 5-7 minutes
Finally, checking system information I am noticing something (my system is in spanish so I wrote some translations):
Información sobre la carga:
Carga restante (mAh): 4398 (Remaining battery)
Totalmente cargada: No (Fully charged?)
Cargando: No (Charging)
Capacidad de plena carga (mAh): 5297 (Full charge)
Información sobre el estado:
Número de ciclos: 4 (Cycles)
Condición: Normal (Condition)
Batería instalada: Sí
Amperaje (mA): -808 (Amperage)
Voltaje (mV): 11927 (Voltage)
Is 5297 a normal mAh for a full charge? Is it normal to have a negative amperage? (not plugged)
I am really concerned about battery life. Now, it's tooking 1 hour to use aproximately 20% of battery.
Help me to take off this fear. Thanks!
Regards!
PD: Finishing this I have now 5:02 of battery time
