New battery life lower than expected.
Hi all,
I have just replaced the battery in my Macbook Pro late 2012 Retina with one from iFixit. The installation kit including instructions was excellent. However, I am only getting around 4:50 / 5 hours battery life when working on emails, no video and medium brightness. When it was new I would have around 6.5/7 hours of similar use and that is backed up by various testing results that can be found online. I have calibrated it properly.
Can anyone confirm that the iFixit batteries are of the same spec as new OEM ones? Should I get more battery life than this?
Many thanks,
Cal.

@Cal Nicklin - What does it look like with the charger plugged in and charging?
