    I do not know if this is an issue or it is normal, but anyways i bought the cx62 6qd a few months ago and i realy dont like the battery, when im just browning on the net and not doing much it holds about 2 to 2.30 hours, is this normal for a this kind of pc? I know the cpu consumes a lot of energy...
    And the other question is every time i charge the laptop to a 100% then shutdown, after 24h being off i turn it on and it starts with 95% is this normal?
    ps: fastboot / fast-startup (dont remember the right name) is turned off

    The battery life is about right on this notebook which is under 3 hours. Try using ECO profile and see if it helps.
    The EC (Embedded Controller) consumes power even when the system is powered off and there's no way to stop this unless the battery is disconnected.

    Because this system uses the NVidia Optimus technology, you could try disabling the NVidia GPU in your device manager if you need the system last longer on battery power only for casual and non-tasking uses. Otherwise you're using both the Intel and NVidia on battery power only causing a massive battery drain.
