Interesting, so that means a device of 1,5 years old has about a battery life of 80% which is still reasonably good. If you keep that in mind and you really need 2 hours with your laptop while it only gives that when you initially bought it thats a big problem. But if your phone goes from 2 days to 1,5 days while you load it up every day anyway that is not an issue.
