Exclamation Battery Life - 09-26-2011, 10:37 AM

hi,
what settings should I use so as to get 7hours of battery life? (as it should be) because my 100% gives me only 4 hours of charge :/

I'm assuming that I might need to change some settings from the control panel! but I don't know what to change and which settings are required!

Dim the screen a bit. My '18 is older and I still see 7 hours of surfing.
