Mid-2014 Retina MacBook Pro


i'm struggling believe i'm stretching marks of macbook burns battery quickly. why posting, opinion of community see if should see genius bar or not on this. btw, did run test (restart | hold d key) , passed every testing.

currently, have safari, google chrome, hipchat, microsoft word & excel 2016 open. i'm browsing through non-video / audio sites, content driven , responding emails through gmail, while writing. brightness around 80%.

can charge laptop 100%, leave charged hour or , when unplug within 1 hour battery drop 82%. there, next hour i'm in 50's , get's worse on time.

know specs said 9+ hours of battery life, i'm lucky 4.5. i'm doing? i've checked activity monitor , appears on , up. strange!
 

1) rid of chrome, known battery hog. have no experience hipchat have no clue. use ms office , have no issues it.

have same macbook , have no issues battery life. i'm @ 77% , been playing music & video well. should mention unplugged laptop before went bed 1230 (my time) morning.

check out activity monitor , see apps taking lot of memory/cpu/energy , either uninstalling (deleting) or disable problems , see how battery fairs.

if still have issues, reinstall os x , start scratch. however, before install programs, let system run on battery , see how fast battery goes down. if continues go down fast, go see genius @ apple store.
