[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1013836"] The "estimate" you see in the menubar when you are on battery is constantly re-accessed depending on what you are doing. You can actually make it go UP by quitting all programs, dimming the screen and waiting a few minutes. 9 months and 400 load cycles! I'm glad to hear it's still performing well at this point, but if I were you I'd start saving up for a new battery, because you are going to need one a LOT sooner than I will (I'm on 2.5 years and 72 load cycles). Once it really starts deteriorating (which hasn't happened yet), it will die out pretty quickly. [/QUOTE]
