[QUOTE="Joebury2004, post: 774548, member: 76264"] I got a macbook pro with core 2 duo and i get insane battery life (its about 20 days old ). I can get up to 3 hours if i am just running airport, no blue tooth, screen brightness set to as low as i can handle. I also adjust my fan speeds when i am not plugged in to normal, when i am plugged in i run them faster (protect the family jewels when the nuclear reactor core is on my lap) Another trick to keep the battery lifespan of your computer is when you aren't using it, keep the charge at a minimum of 35% and a max of 70%. In terms of charging Li Ion batteries, manufacturers way over charge them in order to get peak energy densities, but not peak lifespan, so by keeping the charge state low, you will have the battery last longer. Also the cooler you run your laptop, the cooler your battery will be and longer it will last lifespan wise. [/QUOTE]
