Troubleshooting 8-5
The battery operating time indicated by the battery meter does not
match the actual operating time.
The actual operating time can be different from the estimated time,
depending on how you are using the computer. If the actual
operating time is much less than the estimated time, we recommend
a full cycle of fully charging, discharging, and then charging as
above.
