New Battery only holds charge for 1.5 hours and battery icon giving up/down readings.
Just received a new Dell battery for my laptop. The battery icon starts out at 100% and time remaining at about 3. 5 hours left, then within 1 minute the time remaining levels off to about 2 hours left. The battery showing time remaining is jumping up and down. I am only using the computer for the internet. No CD or DVD or gaming. At best I get 1.5 hours out of a charge. Is this normal? Or did Dell send me a bad battery?
Sincerely,
Lou

since I did not have it I down loaded the program. Now have battery meter However I only have two tabs. One battery status and the other one is battery health. Did check Dell extended battery life. I will see if that helps; Still don't have windows 7 desk top.

My computer did not have a battery meter. So I down loaded the Quickset App . Now have a battery meter and my battery is now lasting a lot longer.
Thanks.
