Short Battery life

Thank you for your reply :) yes I have calibrated the battery.... I always let it run down and then fully charge it without using... I run the battery report but it is a little strange because it says that I have used the device in periods that it was off... I didn't understand it very well :/

You shouldn't run it down all the time - only once per month.

If you upload the report to onedrive or something, and give an example of what you're not getting here, someone can help explain it.

mine was also draining very fast, reaching 4.5h maximum with light usage.

the strange thing was that in the batteryreport the capacity wasn't showing. so I called microsoft and they changed it for a new one (took 4 days with the standard exchange in Europe).

new one last 6.5h with the same settings and usage as the old one!
 
I only ever get about 5.5 out of my i7 but I use Chrome. Watching VLC videos (usually MKV with high CPU load for decoding) also kills it in about 5 hours. I assume this is to be expected for these use cases. I suspect if I was just using Metro browser or other non-intensive tasks I would get substantially more life.
