[Novalug] Laptops

[Dan Arico]

Can anyone give me some insight on how battery life is calculated on laptops?

I have a Lenovo 3000 running Ubuntu 8.04. When I fire it up, the little batery 
symbol tells me I have 1 hr 45 min of battery time left. After using it for 
45 minutes (web browsing), it tells me I have 1 hr 30 min left.

Somehow the arithmetic doesn't work out.
