Have had my M1 MBP about a week and decided to try out its battery today over a full work day.

I started at 9am on full battery with following usage, and at 6:23pm had 16% left. According to activity monitor, that's 9h 20 mins of usage, with 2hr 19 min left, for total of 11hr 40m:

-~2.5 hours of teams video chat; ~15-30 mins on audio chat;teams running/chatting entire day
-~30-45mins on video chat using Bluejeans app
-outlook/emailing all day
-light word and excel usage
-light browser usage
-bluetooth apple trackpad and keyboard (never had any connectivity issues)

I have istat installed which only provides SSD temp, but generally 26-29 degrees Celsius; on video chat (teams/bluejeans) would go up to around 36 degrees Celsius; bottom felt slightly warm (typically cold). no fans.

Good to know this baby can last all day of real work.

Do you use Safari or Chrome ?

Did you use internal speakers or Airpods/Bluetooth for video conferencing?
