I've noticed mine going to zero percent in a couple of hours. I didn't
have this problem before. It used to always carry a good long charge.
I am inclined to think this is a software thing as laptops running
Ubuntu sometimes have the same issue. Our batteries are all brand new
and came with our units. Strange thing batteries are...
