Re: Battery life went from good to BAD
One thing to point out... since some of you may not be WinMo junkies... any time a battery is polled in single-percent increments, the first 10% can be ... flaky. For example, mine dropped to 93% within 5 minutes and then stayed there for 3 hours. Those of us from the WinMo days may remember this from using the 1% increment drivers from no2chem.

If you think this sounds bogus... stop and ask yourself... when you top off your gas tank... ever notice it feels like it stays at full for a long time and then just collapses for a while before leveling off again? Same concept... electronic measurement is always approximations.
