The display showing the time remaining in the battery is only an estimate, and is based off of the power that is being used at that instant. For example, you're reading a file, and your computer shows that you have an hour left. Now you start a sync of a lot of files with your iPhone, and the battery might show only 3 hours left. When the sync is finished, that time will jump back up to almost 6 hours again.
If you'd like, you can change the battery meter so that it displays the percentage of the charge remaining in the battery, rather than attempting to estimate how long that charge will last.

I got my new macbook pro last night and this morning it read 15 hours. On Jun 25, 2010, at 8:33 AM, James Gallagher wrote: Hello all.

Last night i had the Macbook pro on the mains to charge it. after the charge it read that it had 10 hours and 13mins on the battery But this morning when I put it on it read that it had only 5 hours on it. The MacBook Pro was off. Is this just the new Macbook running it self in.
