Re: Pismo Bluechip G3 900 Eats My Battery

[Krevnik]

It also depends on the revision of 750 is in the Bluechip versus on the 
original CPU card. The Powerbook G3s were pretty bad on the 
power-efficiency compared to the current G3 crop. Even the first-gen 
G4s had better power efficiency than the G3s the Lombard and Pismo came 
with. (Just working towards my next paycheck, wanting a Bluechip LS 
G4/500 for my Lombard)

I have the 900Mhz snow iBook.

I would say 1.5 hours is pretty good for upgrading that much.  Without 
looking up the specs, I'm sure your upgraded processor pulls more 
wattage than the old one.  Your battery was designed with the old 
processor in mind.  Even running it at slower cycles, your probably 
still going to pull out more wattage than before.
