[QUOTE="Maxp0wer2004, post: 57140"] Since this is used to "break in" a new battery, you should do this when you get the laptop(if it has a new battery), and you should do it when you get a new battery. If you notice that your battery starts to drain rapidly with less use of the laptop, try doing this again. Also if this is an iBook with Bluetooth and Airport Extreme, disable them to make battery life more efficient. Since AirPort and Bluetooth are constantly sending a signal, disabling would extend battery life. [/QUOTE]
