11 inch MacBook Air Battery

Hi folks,


I have just bought a brand new MacBook Air 11 inch - Model - A1465


This model was advertised as 9 hour battery life, I have just charged it fully, and my battery life is showing as 6hr 12, thats with no backlight keyboard and medium display. Just browsing the web seems to drain it! My previous 2013 MacBook Pro had no issues.


Shall i take this model back and get a replacement or is there any fix?


Cheers


GC.

MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2), A1465

But if it continues going down make a complaint this happens on most laptop computers, just don't ignore if your touchpad rises and your keyboard starts razing up as it could be a swelling battery this photo is from an older model if this starts happening take it to an apple store as the battery is becoming dangerous
