Battery time remaining fluctuates???

Latitude D600:  Why does the time left flucuate? For instance 1 minute it'll say "5:33 hours 95% remaining" then a minute later it'll say "3:33 hours 95% remaining"? It keeps jumping back and forth and I'm not running anything??

    It's the way the algorithm works - it uses instantaneous power consumption as part of it's calculation and that will vary even if you are not running any applications, don't worry about it. The lower value is likely to be more realistic.
