Report proper battery life estimates on laptops
Authored by: JamieD on Apr 02, '03 01:43:03PM

I believe the initial calculation is an important parameter in the continual calculation the meter does. It is as if there is an integrator in the algorithm. The idea is that you start off on the best possible value to begin with that way you maximize the amount of time that is reported.

With this method I get at least an extra 45 minutes (actual time) out of my iBook before it tells me it needs to go to sleep.
