Anyway to default to safe sleep?
Authored by: sr105 on Dec 06, '06 11:20:39AM

Both of my powerbook batteries are nearly dead now (~15-40 minutes of life). If I close the lid on my fully charged powerbook on a Friday afternoon and go away on vacation for 3+ days, the laptop (having been on battery power only in sleep mode) will be powered off when I return. I hit the power button and it does a normal cold boot.

Anyone know of a solution for this?

The best thing to do in your case would be to either leave the laptop connected to power or simply do a full shut down on it before you leave for an extended period of time.

set it to hibernation mode. That way when the Battery goes flat while you're away,
it should boot back up how you left it when you plug in the power
