I couldn't confirm this. I heard from this problem from people with PC laptops, but I see the battery load in the task bar of my window manager and I noticed, it must fall under 95% before a new charge cycle begins. With PC laptops a new cycle starts by 99% which leads to the effect you've described. > Anyway, those two things together sounds like "remove your battery if you > are going to use your laptop with AC power for a long time" to me. And it > seems to be true as I've just had to replace the battery of my ibook. At me my ibook wobbles if I remove the battery. You don't have this problem? What version of ibook you have? G4?
