I noticed in the last days that my Macbook Pro Retina mid 2012 suddenly lost 1-2 ours of its battery health. At least I think so. I used the Battery Health app and I noticed that in its 'Time Remaining' info tab, 'Current Usage' is approximately two hours less than 'Internet Browsing'. Is that normal? I guess it is not since I checked and I only have Safari running in the background. It should be the same,right?

I provide you pictures and links with some documents,which include my processes running,from the activity monitor utility. Personally I didn't notice anything weird but I need some help in order to exclude that it is a software issue. The thing is that I recently took the macbook for service for a different reason and apart from a general diagnostic test they also checked the battery,as I asked, and everything proved to be ok.

In case you need any other information just ask me. Thank you in advance!

Can you be a little more elaborate? Looking at the energy consumption in the activity monitor (you can check the pdf document), I don't see something that consumes a lot. Apart from Safari obviously, but this is the browser to surf, if we assume that current usage should be close to internet browsing.

EDIT: I also did a PVRAM reset as I read somewhere, and I lost an hour.. Now I am in 4 and something.. This is weird?
