[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1012820"] So what you're saying here is that you have the machine set to never sleep or spin down the hard drive or turn off the display while on battery?? This seems really odd. There's no harm (and a lot of good) in letting the display sleep even if you don't want the processor to sleep. But of course not letting the HD spin down is using up a lot of battery power. Battery could probably use recalibration, but as osxx said what's the cycle count and stats on that battery. It's only good for so many cycles. You can use [URL="http://www.coconut-flavour.com/coconutbattery/index.html"]Coconut Battery[/URL] to get a full reading on this. Let us know! [/QUOTE]
