Hi everyone,

I own a T42 2378DXU and the characteristics of this model say that the 
battery time is around 4-5 hours.

When I use X though, my battery barely work for 1,5 hour. The max 
capacity of the battery is 45000 mWh and the discharging rate when 
using X is around 35000mW thus giving me an autonomy of around 1h15.

Can other users of the same model confirm these data ? Why does IBM 
claim this battery to last for 5 hours (using Windows) and mine only 
last little more than 1 hour ?
