2015 ATIV Book 9 Plus NP940X3K

Appreciate the advice on BatteryInfoView. At your suggestion, I downloaded and ran it on the Book 9 Plus (K02US). The battery wear level is especially concerning since I've read it should be at 99% given it's brand new. The charge/discharge value was taken when I was trying to attach a screenshot to this post so it's a bit high. Where it sits with Chrome, Notepad++, and Windows Explorer running while idle is between 6k - 8k milliwatts. The screen brightness is about 40%. I turned off the Bluetooth yesterday evening and did notice an immediate improvement. I haven't not tried turning wireless off yet.

Battery Wear Level 94.5%
Charge/Discharge Rate -15,413 milliwatts

FYI, I contacted Amazon yesterday about this issue to see if they have any options for me. First thing they presented was a full refund option which I was quite surprised at given I believed there would have been some restocking / inventory fee involved. The second option was a $150 credit towards the purchase of a new battery or any service necessary. Option two would be so much more tempting if I could at least figure out how to extend the battery life without having to compromise too much on performance.

Again, the battery wear level is a bit of a concern to me. After the battery drops to critical levels I'll recharge and see if that number changes. How reliable is the value provided by BatteryInfoView? Not sure.
