It seems new
MacBook Air owners are experiencing strange behavior with the battery in the
new MBA. While the expected usage of 3 - 5 hours is holding true, the time to
charge the battery can be as long a 9 hours in some cases. While the cause of
this strangely long charge time is for the moment unknown, it is the apparent
randomness in the time taken to charge the battery that seems to be causing the
most confusion. For example, running the MBA down to within a few % of 0 and
plugging in the charger one can get an estimated time to charge from anywhere
between 3.5 - 9 hours. It's weird....however, this forum posts claim after
having charged the battery +10 times it settles down to a more reasonable 3-4h
hours.
