[QUOTE="Maxp0wer2004, post: 57007"] Macworld.com has a good way to extend battery life. I dont know if it would work for the iBook, since it was specially talking about the PowerBook, but here it is anyway: Important: DO NOT USE THE LAPTOP DURING ANY OF THIS When you get the laptop, charge the battery until it is full, then unplug the power and let the battery drain. Once it has drained, fully charge it again, and then you are free to use it. This is long and complicated, but it is good for "stretching" the limits of the battery. Once you have done this, macworld.com says that a battery should last 4.5 hours while playing a DVD. Do this with every new battery, even your current battery may benefit from this [/QUOTE]
