Give your battery a thorough checkup
I have a Dual USB iBook from July 2001 and here are my reading just after I have removed the power cable and the iBook has finished calculating.
My capacity seems to be way down. I only upgraded to Jaguar (then 10.2.3) at beginning of Feb. this year. When I was running 10.1.5 I was always getting well over of 2 hours of battery time being displayed in the menu bar, but now I'm lucky if I get 1:30 hours. Time for a new battery, or wait for 10.2.5? How come I get the same flags value (4/0x004) as tamenti "Making a log?" comment? And what is the flag value anyway (I know it is a Hex value)? Other than that, Jaguar and 10.2.4 is going great. No other side-effects of the 10.2.4 upgrade that others have reported. |
