Does anyone else have a crazily inconsistent battery meter in terms of its estimate of time remaining? The percentages seem pretty accurate and consistent, but the times on mine go from
4:39 remaining to
4:02 remaining to
5:30 remaining to
6:05 remaining

all in a matter of minutes. And no, I’m not changing settings or suddenly starting or stopping an intensive application. It’s just all over the place. Is that how all of them are, or is it just me?

This is normal. Download and install another one, like BattStat or BatteryBar. (I use BattStat myself, I found it better)

Got everyone beat. Took my battery out, placed it in a plastic back with a BIG bag of silica, put that zip lock n a paper bag, put it in my refrigerator after making sure charge level was at 40% first. Now, I don’t care anymore. But these 2 blotchy eyes are starting to bother me though……
