battery

[paul_h1982]

mmm well, more and more i get the feeling i did not do that perfect buy.
the story:
bought my fs285m last year in september, didn't use it that often, in deed, once or twice for half an hour a week, and even then the power supply was switched in.
well, as usual, i charged my battery to 100% last time and did not use the vaio for 3 or 4 days and as i started the laptop today, the battery-control showed 97%.
is this an usual phenomen or did this happen because of the bad accu of the vaio?

thanks in advance.

Whatever you do, don't try and discharge the battery in any way other than running the Vaio on battery until you get the 5 minute warning. You will almost certainly damage the battery.

Try downloading the free trial version of BatteryMate XP. This builds a graph of your battery's discharge characteristics and also indicates the efficiency of your battery. As a bonus it gives remaining battery time in hours and minutes.
