[QUOTE="plan9, post: 8497"] [b]Another Battery Questio...[/b] What's a good way to guage if my battery is capable of the 6 hours or so that it is supposed to last? Is that figure based on if the computer is simply sitting idle with no processes running? The iBook (and battery) is exactly one week out of the box.. When it is fully charged, it says approx 3 hours left.. Does it base this on all processes running at the time? I am sure importing from iTunes, using my Airport, etc, runs it down faster.. But it just seems like when I am sitting there, just noodling around, the percentage remaining sure does drain fast.. Thanks for all the help so far.. Jason [/QUOTE]
