[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 897860, member: 56379"] Well it looks like according to Coconut Battery your current battery capacity is 50%...which means you should be getting around 2.0-2.5 hours on a full charge. What sort of runtime (hours & minutes) are you actually getting on a full charge? Also remember that your battery life depends on what your doing. If you're playing graphics intense games or watching DVD's...that will eat up battery life very quickly. With a battery capacity of 50% & watching a DVD...you may only get 1 hour of runtime. If you're surfing the internet, checking e-mail, or doing some word processing...then you could be getting closer to 2.0-2.5 hours. Also, if you have your screen brightness high, airport on, music playing on a louder setting, bluetooth on...these things will also eat up battery runtime. Good luck, - Nick [/QUOTE]
