According to the posting nos. 12 and 14, either change the NVidia card settings (if any) or clean install fixed the issue.

So am I understanding correctly, you now have an approximate maximum battery percentage, to last up to 5-hours on a fully charged battery now? If this is true, that is not bad! Thats enough time to watch 2 movies, or play a heck of a lot of rounds of solitaire. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
