Question about new battery???

I just picked up the 1800 battery. (Yeah the big ugly one)

My battery meter shows that I only have three hours left, the same as my 900 battery...

Why is this??? It is fully charged....

How long does the 1800 last on average???

It sounds like you are using a 3rd-party battery monitoring software?

Time estimations on battery monitoring software is never 100% accurate. Also, it will become more accurate every time you use your battery and recharge it. This is because to do time estimations, the software pretty much looks at the averages it has taken in the past for the battery to drain from x% to y%.
