Are there any _G3_? users having problems with battery life under Panther? I have two G3 laptops (PowerBook G3 Lombard 400 and iBook 500 Dual) and I am having problems with both -- I was able to get an hour under Jaguar, but since upgrading to Panther my battery life has gone down to 10 minutes. When I unplug I get the battery warning message after about a minute. Charging seems to take forever, too. I tried turning off AirPort (which was suggested in this thread -- http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/showthread.php?p=14614#post14614) and that made no difference.
