Power Draw

*  I think a part of it is the system learning or calibrating itself when you are starting out.

**  Way Back When, I remember Lucas talking about the system calibrating the battery meter...
 First step was to charge it fully before using it,  not that it would change anything except that it would take longer for the battery predictions to become more accurate, than if you start with a partially charged battery. ( to run it down real low from a full beginning charge for the first few cycles )
I have always run my screen pretty bright, and watching YouTube and surfing I typically get 8 to 10 hours without it shutting down from a depleted battery.
 While watching at high brightness,  I also am usually above 100% on the sound, while watching videos. (Half blind and half deaf)

That may actually help to condition the New battery as well ?
