Give your battery a thorough checkup
Authored by: leffo on Mar 13, '03 10:52:21AM

This is what my two days old iBook 700 (12") reports with the above script:

voltage=12620 flags=5/0x005 amperage=1200 capacity=4148 current=4139 [99.8%]

Great hint though. I'm running 10.2.1 on this machine and will wait for 10.2.5 before I upgrade. Don't want to risk my batterypower!

No problems with 10.2.4 here. A seven month old iBook 600 running 10.2.4 gives:

voltage=12400 flags=5/0x005 amperage=1200 capacity=4149 current=4091 [98.6%]

Give your battery a thorough checkup
Authored by: rasda on Dec 19, '03 11:27:29AM

i have a pismo 400 for 2 and a half years. my first battery drains in the guarantee time so i got a new one which was very fast drained out too. i don't know why. a friend of mine has the same pismo and his battery is still cool. he bought it before mine. he has another power supply. it has the same form but shorter cables. maybe my power supply is not working correctly cause i get strange numbers when i run the script with power supply connected.

here with power supply:
capacity=197 amperage=1272 current=0 voltage=12154 flags=0/0x000 capacity=10000 amperage=1200 current=0 voltage=0 flags=838860931 [6901933.0%]

and here without:
capacity=197 amperage=1200 current=197 voltage=12398 flags=0/0x000 capacity=10000 amperage=1200 current=0 voltage=0 flags=32 [0.0%]

i will try the power supply of my friend.

cheers
rasda
