Hi.
As long as it does not rise, i would not worry about it, I had a new laptop with a 7% wear from day one, and it never got any worse.
I also had a laptop with 0% wear on day 1, go to 15% within 7 days, I got the battery replaced.
Do not do any deep discharges as you will only wear out your battery quicker.
Normally a it should be under 10% wear within the first year.

well really it is less than 5% if you look at it. You have a 56 whr battery and it is at 54.7 right now. Thats only 2.3% wear.

Well I had HP 6730s for about 2 months with 0 % wear level.
Also I everyday discharge and charge my notebook 1 or 2 times, and by my opinion battery lifetime for now is good
As John said if "it never got any worse" than 5 %, it will be fine for me
Thank you

Hi.
I would take any runtime and wear level information with a extra large pinch of salt.

the battery is 56 whr too!
Everest detect the battery as 57720!
May be Everest can't detect correct the battery! -
My english is not very good.I can't understand everything.
BUt let's hope in my case it will be EXTRA LARGE PINCH OF SUGAR
By the way now is 10 o'clock, I still have 57 % on high performance
I made my post at 9 o'clock.

I don't think a 56wHr battery is exactly 56000.
For example, I changed my Compaq (junk) laptop battery to a 12-cell Extended Life one rated at 95wHr, but it is reported as 95040 capacity. When I started using it, the wear level was already 5% at 90xxx. After about 2 months, it's now 8% at 88xxx. -
and 1 year (if i'm not wrong) for the battery
I hope it will stuck to 5% for long time
If it get wrost I will use my warranty
By the way my borther and my father have HP Compaq nx9420 *amazing machine.My brother's battery works perfect, but my father's - only 10 minutes.Both notebooks are on 2 years.
I guess it is just luck
Thank you for the information.
I really hope 5% for long time -
Very BAD NEWS GUYS!
