Yes,  but that, like all lap tops with a lithium Ion battery, is figured out
by time, not actual percentage and is not as reliable as it could be with
another kind of battery. It's a reference, if you let it sit for, say 3
weeks and then use it on the battery, you'll notice the battery meter is
very unstable or inaccurate is probably a better word unless they have a way
in that to keep track of battery drain while it's sitting but I know I've
had 3 laptops, and my mother's had 2, all having 1 of those batteries and we
see the exact same thing and I've had sighted help with the battery display
on the TH-F6A and we notice the same thing, with normal usage the battery
meters like that are alright, but let it sit for a couple weeks and forget
it, it's not reliable at all until the next charge.
