I am currently on 90%, HDMI connected to 2nd monitor, about 5-6 links open in Safari, terminal running (coding on python), Stickies, Messages, and Mail are running.

My battery has 2h of remaining run-time before needing a charge !! I used to have about 6-8 hours about a month or two ago. I don't know if disabling hibernation mode and deep sleep mode have an impact on the battery's run-time ?

pmset -g returns :

Active Profiles:
Battery Power       -1*
AC Power        -1
Currently in use:
 standbydelay         7200

I have a retina macbook pro with SSD. I also usually keep the laptop charged 24hrs a day but discharge it to about 10% at least once or twice a week.
