New Macbook Pro Battery Help

[macwow55]

Hi Everyone,

Just got my new macbook pro 15 inch i7. Am enjoying it very much but am worried i might have a dud battery.

I followed apples instructions on conditioning the battery as soon as I got the computer. But even after a full charge, the capacity still says less than 4hours remaining.

This is when i am doing internet browsing only with brightness as 75%

This cant be right. Can it?

How long have you had it? It usually takes few cycles before you get the maximum battery life

 

[macwow55]

had it less than a week. Only 2 battery cycles.

You get less battery live when your dedicated 330M is running instead of the intel HD check your system.

I had the exact same problem too, I deleted some of my startup items and cleared the title bar of any other programs like iStat Menu.

Now after three cycles and what I mentioned above I'm getting 5-6 hours at about 60% brightness and had a battery time remaining reading of 9:41 at one point.
