Paul, I'd agree with Robert on this. Also, the battery level indicator doesn't appear to be really accurate, but it does give a close approximation. Also, if it were at 72 percent and in just a few minutes it showed 71 percent, it could be that it was really on the borderline. I have no idea when the battery level figure is rounded up or down.
