As I wrote in another
It's very simple. At that day it showed me remaining 7%, can last 4 hours and 30 minutes around. I tried to do something very heavy to see the estimated remaining hours, it's still near 4 hours. No matter how positive I towards my battery, it can's last more than 40 hours or more. (7% =~ 4 hours; 70% ~ 40 hours) so I just removed the power manager and back to avoid suddenly shut down.
