It is stating that during 55 minutes it has used 12% of the battery. The monitor that tells you the screen and wifi are taking up the most battery is more then likely not accurate.

I'll find a link to a better monitoring program. Just cant remember is off the top of my head.

Go to the first post, under Resource Management there are apps that relate to power monitoring. I would also suggest turning off ASUS sync and GPS. And if you dont use ASUS Sync go into settings, apps, all, and disable ASUS sync. It will increase your battery.

Before you return it you should try to just correct it because it will be a week or two before you get one back. try letting th tablet fully discharge, then put it on the charger and dont turn it of for 8 hours. Hopefully it will recalibrate the battery.
