[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1498224, member: 56379"] Sounds like this computer is in very good shape...including the fact that the previous owner retained the original box & install disks.:) At this point this computer with the battery it has (under the computing conditions you described...with only Safari open)...will run for approx. 2 hours and 20 minutes when fully charged. Probably not too bad for an older computer...with a replacement battery that may or may not be a quality replacement. If you want this computer to perform like new...purchase a genuine replacement battery from Apple...and then you will get the full estimated 4-5 hours of battery runtime on a full charge.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
