Is it normal for the batteries to die in 30 ~ 40 minutes of wifi browsing? I even tried using XCPUSCALAR to lower my clock speed to 104 MHz but that didn't help much if at all. Is there a way to recalibrate the battery charge sensors? Also, is there a way to lower the broadcast power of the wifi to reduce battery consumption? I know my router and my laptop's adapter can do it.

I doubt the battery is defective
if it came with HP, call for warranty replacement
usually it can go 3+ hours

Hi unit,

On my 2755, if I turn on WiFi, then go WiFi Manager -- Advanced (tab), there's a Power Save Mode drop down menu.

That might help a little, but your battery drop off is way out of normal. I can do 2 hours of solid WiFi plus any amount of other normal (non-broadcast) usage and still have 35-40% of the battery left.
