Hi Clem
If you are still getting 1 hr from the first battery and you use the
mac like that then (that is great not good)
To get better life try this.
Go the the system prefs and select the energy saver settings, Then
click the options tab.
select the 1st and 2nd of the other options then go to the bottom
and select the reduced settings in the processor performance tab.
Then go to the display settings and starting at the bottom set the
screen to what you feel is ok for use.
Recharge the battery fully and then see how long you get .
I think you should get around 20mins more from the battery that you
have and if you take the external card out and find and use an
internal airport card then the battery life will get a bit better
also. (I only found this when i switched from an external 54g card
back to the internal b card Not much of a speed difference for what i
use the mac for anyway, ) but this depends on what you do with the
net if you need the 54g card that go with it.
Also what os are you using..
