    when i bought my gs75 stealth i was getting excellent battery results like 4+ hours and 5 hours web browsing, but it was brought to my attention by the dragon software that i need to calibrate my battery to maintain its lifetime and performance level so i did so, yesterday and even today i dont get more than 2-2.5 Hours MAX even when using Super Battery mode, PURE WEB BROWSING, low brightness and no rgb keyboard, this happened just after the battery was calibrated and same exact usage scenario if not more conservative than before, anyone knows why is this happening ?!? and isnt the calibration supposed to give better results not worse !?...

    thanks.

    Look at the battery capacity in HWMonitor.

    ur refering to the capacity am aware of that, although its not showing full capacity, 80k mwh full capacity vs 74k mwh full charge. i was seeing LESS results, as i said all this happened AFTER the battery was calibrated. it no drains FASTER at same usage scenario, also i did a bios update last night so far it seems the same !..
