[QUOTE="jn4jenny, post: 177816"] Well to be honest, I never set mine at half and half. If I'm on my battery, I'm after maximum battery life and my volume and screen brightness are as low as I can get them. If the lighting is such that I can't see the screen well at the lowest setting, I invert the screen colors with Ctrl-Alt-Apple-8. On those dead lowest settings, on a 1Ghz 12" Powerbook G4 with the NewerTech after-market battery, I can get as much as 4.5 hours, or about 3 hours if I'm using Airport Extreme. With the original factory battery, I was never able to get that sort of time. I was lucky to get three and a half hours when the factory battery was new, and two and a half hours with Airport Extreme on. [/QUOTE]
