[QUOTE="pianodavid, post: 702520, member: 48859"] Batteries are finnicky buggers! LiPo Batt.'s need to be used less to last longer... but used to maintain charge capacity.. the key here (as always) is moderation. Don't leave it at 0% for two months (using only AC) but don't never discharge it either [that guide isn't loading so i can't comment on it, but i'm guessing its got good info]. If you use the laptop w/o the battery in - make sure nobody ever touches that cord... you'll loose all your non-saved data! not a good idea in my opinion. if your laptop is used as a dsktop then consider the battery one of the longest-lasting/cheapest APS's on the market! Power outage? What power outage?! [B]I think BuickGN[/B] is talking about how the the G4's and earlier (possibly early macbooks?) came with a power blolck with two ac inputs if you will. the stupid little prongs that flip out, and about a 6' cord like all other computers in the world. Good thing is the AC cord fits all apple chargers that have the removable prongs (e.g. airport express even!). my personal pref: why would you want to [B]not[/B] reach a plug? but i'm a Univ student and often in study rooms/libraries where the plugs are few/far apart... just me tho. I'm lookin at my apt now and hey! The power situation is even worse, the plugs are few and very far apart too! There's none close enough to reach my couch without using the the 'extension' instead of the prongs. [/QUOTE]
